What the CCTV Camera gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25%  High Quality Metal, 2 + 25%  Tech Trash |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% High Quality Metal, 1 + 80% Tech Trash |

| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% High Quality Metal, 1 + 20% Tech Trash |
The CCTV Camera breaks down into High Quality Metal and Tech Trash.
A recycler takes 7 per cycle, so a full stack of 64 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more.

In Rust, CCTV Camera is a electrical in the Resources category (item ID #634478325, console shortname cctv.camera). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 64 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
A CCTV Camera system can be used for realtime surveillance and security around your base when powered and paired with the Computer Station.
In Rust, CCTV Camera has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on 15 world loot tables 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
The CCTV Camera is one of the 83 electrical items; Rust classifies it under the Resources inventory category.
The CCTV Camera has 150 health, as do the PTZ CCTV Camera and the Search Light.
When comparing CCTV Camera against related resources in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCTV Camera | Resources | 64 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Computer Station | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 330 path | Not recyclable |
| AND Switch | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 15 node / 300 path | Not recyclable |
| Industrial Combiner | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 345 path | Not recyclable |
