This is a security camera. Its graphic is kind of dumb.

An example of security cameras revealing track.

I would like to reiterate that I am not an artist.

Old post (0.11.x) here.

I love the idea of this.

I'd use it, except for the funky graphic...

Any chance somebody could donate an awesome graphic to use for this?

[Dawnzy]

The graphic scared me off till i downloaded and looked at it, update your post pictures

I will be using this

Excellent concept! I'm downloading and hope to find it very useful in my game.

The linked mod for me adds scouting and tactical radars, but I don't see a security cam anywhere? Useful, but not what it says on the tin

[Schmendrick]

Whoops! That's what I get for messing around with two mods at the same time.

Fixed.

Just downloaded the mod but I don't see it listed anywhere under crafting tabs or research options.

If you update this to 12.20 I will definitely download this and use it because I am all the time having to figure out why my trains stopped and its usually because of a traffic jam outside of my radar ranges and radars put such a strain on your power when there is a lot of them

[Schmendrick]

Updated.

[MrGrim]

I'm no artist either, but I tried to come up with something. What do you think?

Hello, I couldn't help but notice you don't have a version for 0.13.
I made some changes to make it work in that version. Here it is so you can put it on the mod thing as you instead of me

I really like this but I wish the area was about 2x as large. It's so small its generally useless plus the area seems offset from the placement location.

I went into the code and didn't see anywhere where the scanning area is defined. Is it pulling from some predefined value?

Can you tell me how I could change this on my own if you don't want to make it bigger in the next version?

[CaptainRush]

ive installed the mod but i cant find a camera or such anywhere? please help
thx

This is a great idea and I support it. But We need a smaller 1 tile camera, a better icon, and a bit wider viewing area. I've made some personal modifications on my end but I hope the mod developer will as well.
