Deployable Camera — Placement Tool

What Is the Deployable Camera

Deployable Camera is a new utility item from Harlow's Favorite Update July 2026. It functions like standard hospital CCTV except players can place it almost anywhere — filling blind spots fixed lobby monitors miss.

Security class rework grants Deployable Camera at Shift start on Levels 2 and 3 alongside X-Taser. See tier-list/security-agent for class passive details.

Pairs with five-point check-in: photo, fixed CCTV, paperwork, audio — deployable unit adds player-chosen angles for camera-category anomaly tells.

How to Deploy

Equip from inventory, place at chokepoint covering check-in queue or right-wing hallway. Test angle before Shutter opens — bad placement wastes Shift 4+ photo-only tells.

Retrieve or reposition between Shifts if mechanics allow — verify live build July 2026. Co-op: desk player owns placement callouts, camera watcher confirms feed.

Does not replace Camera Upgrade shop purchase for monitor clarity — both stack for high-Shift desk mains.

Security Class Synergy

Security L2–3 starts with Deployable Camera plus Taser — elevates pub tier from insurance pick to active desk support. Taser still cleans Ghost and Skinwalker July meta.

Lower Sanity cost on Taser vs Gun makes Security console-friendly per controls/console guide.

Pre-July Security started Taser only — returning players relearn loadout Shift 1 after class level check.

Anomaly Detection Value

Camera-category tells include shadow figures and ceiling shapes — deployable unit catches window-invisible angles. Community Stalker July update: appears at check-in, photograph to dismiss — deployable cam may help document Stalker before Sanity drain.

Not a Scanner replacement — Scanner lights red on symptomatic patients per items/scanner guide. Use both on Security high-level runs.

Wrong placement does not cause false rejects — still read feeds carefully before Shutter.

Shop Purchase vs Class Start

Security L2+ starts with free deployable each Shift. Other classes may buy from Supplies Shop post-patch — confirm prices in-game. Secret Agent gets Scanner instead at L1.

F2P grinders unlock Security before buying duplicate deployable for non-Security desk mains — cost-benefit on Shift 7+ only.

Co-op Placement Strategy

Pub meta: PC desk places covering exterior queue; runner does not block lens. Voice: cam deployed covering bay line.

Four-player: second deployable on left-wing Ambulance path optional luxury.

Ghost entity roams corridors — camera does not stun Ghost; Taser counterplay unchanged.
