Workbench Level 2, 1s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 0.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the PTZ CCTV Camera, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Locked Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Elite Crate | 0.78% | 1 to 3 |
| Scientist PT Boat Dry Box | 0.73% | 1 to 3 |
 Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Underwater Lab Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Wagon Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
Missile Silo Scientist (underground) | 0.3% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.074% | 1 |
Heavy Scientist | 0.061% | 1 |
 Treasure Box, mission reward | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Gingerbread Mine Present, Christmas event only | 0.42% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the PTZ CCTV Camera gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% CCTV Camera, 112 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% CCTV Camera, 90 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% CCTV Camera, 75 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% CCTV Camera, 60 Metal Fragments |
The PTZ CCTV Camera breaks down into CCTV Camera and Metal Fragments.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 5 goes through in 5 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, PTZ CCTV Camera is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #140006625, console shortname ptz.cctv.camera). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 5 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A CCTV Camera system can be used for realtime surveillance and security when paired with the Computer Station. This camera has pan, tilt, and zoom capability.
Crafting PTZ CCTV Camera in Rust takes 1 second at a Workbench Level 2 once the 30 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
The PTZ CCTV Camera has 150 health, as do the CCTV Camera and the Search Light.
When choosing between PTZ CCTV Camera and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 360-scrap tech tree path and save 330 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PTZ CCTV Camera | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |
| Computer Station | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 330 path | Not recyclable |
| Flasher Light | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 150 path | Not recyclable |
| Test Generator | Electrical | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
Compare PTZ CCTV Camera with closely related electrical sheets in the Rust item catalog:
To compare PTZ CCTV Camera against every item in its inventory category, browse All 83 items in Electrical, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Engineering Workbench tech tree, tile by tile.
The PTZ CCTV Camera has 150 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 140006625 across 83 electrical and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The PTZ CCTV Camera is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 1 CCTV Camera and 150 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The PTZ CCTV Camera drops from 9 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (1.3% chance), Elite Crate (0.78% chance), and Scientist PT Boat Dry Box (0.73% chance). It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 140006625 across 83 electrical.
The PTZ CCTV Camera recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of a CCTV Camera and 75 Metal Fragments. Full recycler yields apply to an undamaged copy, while partially worn gear returns proportionally fewer materials based on its remaining durability bar.
The PTZ CCTV Camera takes 1 second to craft, down to 0.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Electrical catalog with item ID 140006625 alongside 82 related electrical and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server.
A repair bench fixes the PTZ CCTV Camera from broken for 30 Metal Fragments and 2 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in three swings for 74 Metal Fragments and 3 High Quality Metal in Rust.
Blueprint progression for PTZ CCTV Camera at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 360 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the PTZ CCTV Camera despawns after 20 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The PTZ CCTV Camera has 32-bit signed item ID 140006625 and shortname ptz.cctv.camera in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Electrical category (stack limit 5 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the PTZ CCTV Camera in the F1 developer console with inventory.give ptz.cctv.camera 5 or inventory.giveid 140006625 5 for 5 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
