CCTV Camera

Basically there is a new block in the game with a circle on one face the camera end now this needs to be linked up to a advanced monitor with either wired or wireless modems. The monitor would only be one block big as making it larger would probably create lag. This would then make cc even more helpful in base building as you could have a bunch of monitors with camera's hooked up. I'm thinking the cameras would need some sort of redstone signal and it could be added to a turtle to create Surveillance Turtle which you could move to specific areas to get important views of enemy bases however they cannot transmit while moving

cameras have to high a resolution for the feel of computercraft, also, i think this fits in withn a cclights issue of lag.

This is possible, and possible to don't give any lag to server or client. But that's complicated… Really… for example it would draw it with no colors, but drawing everything on monitor… better and simple idea would be that when you right click it would show gui with camera's view, that would be a lot easier to put this inside the code, but it's going to be really complicated specially for servers, imagine: the cctv camera is far away from any players but once it's accessed it still must load chunks to draw somethig on screen, well also framerate would be probably 1.5 - 2 times smaller because it must draw another gpu rendered crap on screen. I don't believe that it will ever come to CC, maybe if some kind of mods exist there would be support to program cameras etc…

I believe this has been denied before.

For minecraft BETA 1.8

Actually,
Rotarycraft

I have seen pictures of drawing just 0's on the screen for blocks around it, like a 2D representation of what is around the computer/turtle.

It would be quite cool, you could remote control your turtle over wireless rednet while watching where it is going though a camera! Kinda like a remote control droid!!
