Cameras are objects that raise [[heat]] if you're doing any criminal acts, such as cutting, digging, chipping, fighting and searching another inmate's desk. When a camera detects something suspicious, it will flash red and call the nearest Guard to check it. If the player alerts the camera, their [[Heat]] will increase by around 10. In TE2, cameras will alert guards if they see you in restricted areas. If it detects you damaging the prison, a [[Lockdown]] will occur (TE2 only, you are sent to [[Solitary]] in TE1). They can also alert if the player is standing on desks or looting characters. Certain actions that will alert a guard will not alert a camera. For example, if [[contraband]] is dropped, cameras will ignore it. == Impedance == You can use [[Duct Tape]], [[Shaving Cream]] (PC version of TE1 only), and [[Toothpaste]] (PC version of TE1 only) to cover it temporarily. In [[The Escapists 2]] and the Console and Mobile versions of TE1, you can only use a Roll of Duct Tape or a Length of Rope to cover it. If you shut down the [[generator]], cameras will have no power, thus they won't be able to record any suspicious action. [[File:Camera.gif|alt=Camera in the escapists 1|thumb|Camera]] == Trivia == * Solely based on their appearance, the cameras used in the games appear to be rectangular bullet cameras. Additionally, they might also have night vision, as they are able to spot illegal activities during night. [[Category: Objects]]
