Camera Monitoring

A complete, professional CCTV surveillance system for Minecraft.

Camera Monitoring adds a full security camera network to your world — real Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras, a dedicated monitoring station, remote handheld monitors, a modular upgrade system, entity detection with configurable alarms, and a full multiplayer-ready permission system. This isn't a single camera block that shows a screen — it's a complete surveillance infrastructure built for both singleplayer and dedicated servers.

✨ Features

📷 Security Camera

• High-detail 3D camera model with configurable mounting on walls, ceilings, and compatible surfaces.
• Smooth, interpolated Pan/Tilt movement — no instant snapping, fully configurable speed and rotation limits.
• Progressive, smooth zoom with per-camera maximum levels and an on-screen zoom indicator.
• Visual status indicators (active / inactive / fault) with LED-style details and appropriate sound feedback.
• Different camera types support different movement ranges and capabilities.

🖥️ Camera Monitoring Station

• A dedicated block that acts as your central control hub.
• Manage every connected camera: name, location, status, installed modules, and online/offline state.
• Select a camera to view, reposition it, rename or remove it, and configure its permissions, modules, and alarms.
• A clean, purpose-built surveillance-style interface — not a generic Minecraft GUI.

📱 Remote Camera Monitor

• Portable item that lets you access authorized cameras without standing at a Monitoring Station.
• Move, zoom, and receive alerts remotely, fully subject to server-side permission checks.
• Multiple tiers available (Basic / Advanced / Professional) with different capabilities.

🧩 Modular Camera System

• Install up to 3 modules simultaneously per camera through a clean, extensible module API.
• Entity Detector Module — turns a camera into a detection unit for players, mobs, animals, monsters, or custom entity filters. Cameras never detect entities without this module installed.
• Night Vision Module — visibility in low-light conditions.
• Motion Tracking Module — automatically pans to follow a detected entity and smoothly returns to its original position once it's out of range.
• Infrared Module — enhanced visualization for very low light.
• Zoom Enhancement Module — increases maximum zoom level.
• Audio Module — captures nearby sound cues where technically feasible.

🚨 Alarm & Detection System

• Configurable detection radius, entity filters, sensitivity, and cooldown to prevent alarm spam.
• Alerts include camera name, entity type, location, and detection time.
• Alarms are sent only to authorized players — never broadcast server-wide.
• Sound and visual notifications, fully toggleable.

🔐 Accounts & Permissions

• Password-protected Monitoring Stations and individually password-protected cameras.
• Role-based access: Administrator, Operator, and View-Only.
• All permission and password checks are validated server-side — clients are never trusted for access decisions.

🌐 Multiplayer-Ready

• Full synchronization of cameras, stations, users, permissions, passwords, modules, alarms, and states across the network.
• The server is the sole authority on ownership, access, permissions, configuration, and camera state.
• Dedicated packet types for camera movement, zoom, authentication, module installation, and alarms, all validated server-side.

📋 Event Logging

• Tracks entity detections, camera access attempts, incorrect password attempts, and configuration changes.
• Recent events can be reviewed directly from the Monitoring Station.

⚙️ Admin Tools

• /cameramonitor command with subcommands to list, locate, remove, and configure cameras, manage permissions, and query event logs.
• Server-side configuration for max cameras (global and per-player), max view distance, alarm behavior, networking limits, and module restrictions.

🌍 Localization

• Full translations for English and Spanish, with all in-game text driven by translation keys.

🚀 Performance & Persistence

• Optimized tick and update logic, efficient detection systems, and proper handling of unloaded chunks to avoid unnecessary overhead — even with many cameras active.
• All camera data (location, orientation, ownership, permissions, modules, and configuration) persists across world saves and server restarts.

🛠️ Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.21.1
• Mod Loader: NeoForge

📦 Compatibility

• Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer (dedicated servers).

Camera Monitoring is built as a genuinely modular, secure, and performance-conscious surveillance system — designed to feel like a premium, professional addition to your Minecraft world, not a simple novelty camera.
