PTZ CCTV Camera: Pan, Zoom & Cost

Overview

In-game description

A CCTV Camera system can be used for realtime surveillance and security when paired with the Computer Station. This camera has pan, tilt, and zoom capability.

Put it where you would otherwise need three fixed cameras. A plain CCTV camera shows one angle forever. This one you turn, tilt and zoom from the computer station, so a single camera on the roof corner can sweep the whole compound, then zoom in on the guy crouched behind your external wall.

Pros

Cons

One camera covers what used to take several
Zoom shows what someone is holding before you open the door
You can follow a target instead of waiting for it to cross a fixed frame

Each one eats a full CCTV camera, which you cannot craft at all
You aim it by hand, so it shows only the spot you are looking at
Like any camera, it needs power and a station to be of use

The real cost is the camera inside. It cannot be crafted at any bench, so they come from loot and recycling, and the same part goes into every auto turret. A group short on cameras builds turrets first. Once there are spares, swap the camera over the front door for this one.

It needs a Level 2 workbench, 150 metal fragments and 30 scrap to research.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
