help install_camera camera_sweep monitor_camera cameras camera monitor
There are three skills relating to the installation and usage of cameras: Syntax: install_camera Syntax: monitor_camera <number> Syntax: camera_sweep INSTALL_CAMERA is simple, using the skill allows a player to install a camera item in their current room using a camera from their inventory. Cameras can be removed from a room by performing a sweep using the CAMERA_SWEEP skill, which will destroy the camera if one is found. This requires a toolkit. MONITOR_CAMERA has multiple different functions. Without any input, the skill by itself will locate any of the cameras installed on the player's current planet. The player can then select a camera by just using monitor_camera again and this time adding the number afterwards. When monitoring a camera, the player will be able to view any activity occuring in that room in real time so long as they are not interrupted through any of the normal methods. A player can get another look at the room by entering "look datapad" without having to begin monitoring again. While viewing others via camera, conversations cannot be heard in the viewed room. Usage of the "datastat" command will not interrupt monitor_camera.
