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

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

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?

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.
