Overview

The Simple Wall Camera is a block that can be linked to a monitor block using a Camera USB, which will allow remote viewing of the camera when at a monitor.

Jammers

Jammer blocks can disrupt the connection of the monitor to the camera when jammers are detected by the camera. The time that it takes for the camera to be jammed or reactivate is based on the camera's check range for the jammer. By default, this range is 64 blocks in radius, which is then multiplied by 6.25 to get the delay time during which cameras will check the next time for an activated jammer block. This makes the default delay time between checks for the Simple Wall camera 400 ticks or 20 seconds. Jammers must be in the on state to jammer cameras.

Turning On/Off

Right-clicking on the block with an empty main hand will toggle the block on or off so long as the player is the owner or a member of the block. It is not possible to toggle the block on or off if the camera is being jammed.

Linking To Monitors

The owner or member of the camera can right-click on a camera while the camera is in the on state with a Camera USB to save the camera data to the Camera USB. The Camera USB can then be added to the drive app on the monitor and linked to a camera slot using the add function of the camera app. It is only possible to link cameras in the same world as the monitor to which they're being added.

Camera Mode

When the player is in camera mode viewing the camera, the player can change the rotation of the camera by clicking A to rotate left or D to rotate right. Pressing Q will leave the camera mode and return to the monitor's camera app. The camera also displays the rotation using blockstates in real time where the player is pointing the camera.

Monitors

Cameras will display the state of the monitor, and a red light will appear if the camera is missing or off. A yellow light will show when the camera is jammed. And a green light will show when the camera is on and can be viewed. At the monitor, it's also possible to toggle the camera on or off using the switches under the light. This will only work if a camera is linked and the camera is not jammed. The player will also need to be the owner or have permission from both the monitor and the camera to make this change from the monitor.

Breaking

Breaking a Simple Wall Camera requires a stone pickaxe or better. Depending on the colour of the camera, the correct camera colour will be dropped for the block broken. Breaking this block also takes some time to break, so it's recommended to have an Iron or better tool to break the block.
