Cameras

Overview

Cameras are a block that can be linked to monitoring blocks using remote floppy disks and then viewed within a reasonable distance from the monitor.

Camera types

There are three kinds of cameras all with different view perspectives.

• Block Camera
• Ceiling Camera
• Small Camera

Toggling on/off

Cameras can be turned on and off by snaking and right-clicking on the block.
Cameras must be on in order to view the camera.
A red pixel will show when the camera is off, or if it the camera is on a green one will show.

Remote Floppy use

You can use a remote floppy to store the location of the camera and link it to a monitor.
Using a remote floppy disk when the camera is off will not store the camera's location.
Make sure the camera is in the "on" state to copy the camera's location.
In order to add it to the monitor the monitor must be in the on the state as well.

Jammers

Jammers that are turned on near cameras will temporarily turn off all cameras around them.
When the Jammer is turned off or broken the cameras turn back on.

Camera Range

As of 4.6.0, the camera range has been overhauled. The game rule responsible for setting the distance has been turned into a multiplier that ranges from 1 to 10. When the game rule is set to 1 the maximum camera distance is 320 blocks away. Setting the value to 2 will make the maximum distance 640 blocks. All of the different bars now are automatically calculated to work with this multiplier. See below for exact ranges.

• Bar ranges are the maximum distances for each range.
• Bar 1 always starts with (0) to (Bar 1)
• Bar 2 is (> Bar 1) to (Bar 2)
• Bar 3 is (> Bar 2) to (Bar 3)
• Bar 4 is (> Bar 3) to (Bar 4)
• Bar 5 is (> Bar 4) to (Bar 5)
• Out of range is (> Bar 5)
