Camera Monitoring: CCTV System Fully Customizable + Screens

📹 Real security cameras. Real live screens. A real CCTV network.

Camera Monitoring adds a complete surveillance system to Minecraft: Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras, monitor screens that show the live picture in the world, a control station, handheld remotes, plug-in camera modules, alarms and passwords.
Hang a camera over your base, put a video wall in your bunker, and watch who walks up to the door. 🔴 REC

Fabric · NeoForge · Forge  |  Minecraft 1.20.1 → 26.3  |  Singleplayer & servers

• 📷 Security & Dome cameras — smooth Pan/Tilt with no snapping, progressive zoom (up to 4x on the security camera, 8x on the dome), status LED and sounds. Mount them on walls and ceilings.
• 👁️ Look through any camera — aim with the mouse, zoom with the wheel, switch cameras with the arrow keys. Your body stays where you were standing, so other cameras can see you at the desk.
• 🖥️ Monitoring Station — one control hub for the whole network: name, status, modules, alarms and permissions of every camera.
• 📱 Remote monitors — Basic (64 blocks), Advanced (256 blocks) and Professional (unlimited, across dimensions).
• ⛵ Valkyrien Skies support — mount a camera on a ship and it films the real world around the ship, following it as it sails, on screens and when you look through it (Minecraft 1.20.1, Fabric & Forge).
• 🧩 3 module slots per camera — turn any camera into a night-vision, thermal, tracking or patrolling unit.
• 🌐 Built for servers — every permission, password and camera state is checked on the server. Clients are never trusted.

Place a Monitor Screen and it shows the camera's picture live, inside the world — people, mobs, the day turning to night, all of it.

• 📐 From 1×1 up to a 16×9 video wall, refreshing at up to 20 fps.
• 🔁 Auto-switching — one screen, up to 64 cameras. It jumps to whichever camera has a player in view, or cycles through them when everything is quiet.
• 🎬 Build a real security room: a wall of screens, each watching a different corner of your base.

A camera on the wall, and its live picture on the screen next to it.

• 🚨 Alarms with the camera name, what was seen, where and when — sent only to authorized players, never to the whole server.
• 🔐 Passwords on stations and on individual cameras, plus roles: Administrator, Operator and View-Only.
• 📋 Event log — detections, access attempts, wrong passwords and configuration changes, readable from the station.
• ⚙️ Admin tools — /cameramonitoring (or /cm) to list, view, rename, link, enable or remove cameras and read the logs, and a server config for camera limits, view distance and alarms.

Everything is craftable in survival, from iron, redstone, amethyst and glass. Any recipe viewer (JEI / REI / EMI) shows every recipe in game.

🆕 New in 1.3.1

• 🧰 Fit and remove modules from afar: the module screen of the Professional Remote (and of the Monitoring Station) has an Install / Remove button that opens the camera's module bay with your inventory, wherever the camera is.
• 📦 The Modules button now also works on cameras with no modules yet, so an empty camera can be equipped from the remote.

🆕 New in 1.3.0

• 🎥 Body Camera: right click to link it to you, give it to someone, and watch what they see from any station or remote (listed as "Name (Body Cam)"). Sneak to leave.
• 🖥️ Watch a screen full screen: sneak + right click a Monitor Screen with an empty hand.
• 🎯 Motion Tracking has a "Follow (without detector)" setting: track players, mobs or animals with no Entity Detector Module.
• 🛠️ Fixed: the black line across monitor screens (very visible on superflat worlds).

• 📺 Bigger video walls: a monitor screen can now be up to 16×9 blocks.
• 🔁 Auto-switch holds up to 64 cameras, and a camera that was broken drops out of the list on its own.
• 🎯 Motion Tracking works on its own (it follows players without an Entity Detector), and the Standard Camera has 3 module slots.
• 🛠️ Fixed: Fabric 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 closed when entering a world. Thanks for the reports!
• 🆕 New versions: Fabric & Forge 1.20.2–1.20.4, Fabric & NeoForge 1.20.6, Fabric & NeoForge 1.21, 1.21.2, 1.21.3, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 26.3 and Forge 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3.
• From 1.2.0: the Patrol Module, auto-switching screens, and fixes for cameras going "Offline" and "NO SIGNAL".
