View through a surveillance cam
A cam, otherwise known as a surveillance camera, surveil-cam, or surveillance imager, functioned as a security tool. Its purpose was to observe individuals or safeguard locations. They possessed the capability to be cleverly hidden within various objects. In his fortress, Chay Praysh employed these cameras to maintain order. Mara Jade managed to move through the fort undetected by obscuring the camera lens with mud.
During the battle which took place on Altyr V, Kyle Katarn infiltrated a base belonging to the Imperial forces. He disguised himself as an asteroid for this purpose, as the Empire was launching its invasion force from that base. At one point, Katarn was able to gain entry to a surveillance camera control center, and he then used the surveillance cameras positioned around the base to orient himself.
Furthermore, surveillance cams could operate independently and be mobile. This allowed law enforcement agencies to track suspected criminals.
