Security Camera

A Security Camera is a part of a locations security system. It sends a closed-circuit feed where a security guard can monitor critical areas. If the monitor spotted something suspicious, they could zoom in to get a better look (causing a whirring sound). If they confirmed a sighting, an alarm could be sound placing the security guards on alert. Shooting a security camera would also set off an alarm. If a security camera has a light on it, it is active.
