Add cameras to monitor your server!
No Client-side add-ons needed!(No Spout)
What is it?
CCTV Cameras is a plugin developed by sayaad as an attempt to fulfil this plugin requests.
How Does it work?
This goes by the workaround that dibujaron taught of. That is, you create a screen and a camera then rightclick the screen to teleport to the respective camera.
There are 2 types of cameras :
- Dispenser Cameras - These use the dispenser block (because they look like cameras to us) as the camera screen. The direction the dispenser is faceing when you teleport to it. If you attempt to look to a diffrent side, you get teleported to the correct side and, for both types of cameras, if you attempt to move/break blocks/interact/hurt players, the action in undone.
- 360 Cameras - Unlike the dispenser cameras, these cameras can be any block type specified in the config and allows for a 360 view of the environment.
When you teleport to a camera you cannot interact with the environment. You will be inside of a glass block which gives a nice black block outline as to a real camera screen.
Features
- No Spout Needed!
- Configurable whether only the player created the camera-screen links can use them. Configurable camera block ids and screen block ids.
- Multi world support (screens can be in different world than cameras)
- Ability for players to see who is in a camera while viewing them.
- Creation wizard to avoid misconfigurations.
Commands and How To's
<> = required [] = optional
- /cctv create camera <camera name> - Enter camera creation mode. USE THIS COMMAND FIRST. After entering the command, left click your eligible camera block (default : dispensers, sponges, obsidian). If you screw up, the plugin will detect it.
- /cctv create screen <screen name> - Enter screen creation mode. USE THIS COMMAND AFTER CREATING CAMERA. Right-click eligible screen block to create a screen (default : Black wool, Grey Wool).
- /cctv link [camera name] [screen name] - Links the two. Use this AFTER you entered the above two commands. ^
After you link the two, you may right click the screen to teleport to the camera. When you are in the camera, you rightclick to exit it.
- /cctv modify [param] [true | false] - modifies the camera not linked yet. Params : public - when true, anyone can use the camera.
- /cctv delete link - Enter Link deletion mode. (You cannot delete a link that is not yours).
Note : You Rightclick to exit the camera.

@deleted_10786114
IT DOES WORK!!!! THX MEN!!!
@deleted_10786114
oh ok let me try
For some reason, sometimes it doesn't change back to the block (obsidian/block) after exiting.
@Blaise49
dude this works with 1.5.2 on my server
um any update for 1.5.1?? PLS???
@sayaad
No, there are too many bugs and crashes with it
@sayaad
What about creating another plugin using the same code? Dynmap, and similar plugins all use rendering, and yet, so do the map themselves. You would fill in about 2000 plugin requests, and perhaps maybe not every tick?
@humzaf
The plugin works fine on a 1.5.1 server. No need to update.
Can anyone gimme an answer
@medemi68
I've thought about that, but the process of constantly creating and rendering an image on the map every tick would be extremely intensive on the server.
What about using Maps, instead of teleportation into a glass block.
Hey guys i love this plugin it helps me spy on hackers on my server, so can you please update to make it compatible with 1.5.1, thank you and if there is a place to find development builds of this plugin that will work for 1.5.1, thanks. Btw join my server, the ip is: jancraft.hopto.org
Hi Im having issues with making screens public.
Bit of an issue...when someone unlinks a camera/screen, it creates an invisible barrier of sorts and those same spots where the camera/screen were cannot be used again. Running bukkit 1.5.1 beta and latest version of CCTV.
Hi, this plugin has allowed me to add some useful features to my game, making it more realistic. Firstly, an update to 1.5.1 would be nice. Secondly, can you make it so that it doesn't create a block underneath the camera as it can sometimes get in the way. It could maybe turn fly mode on?
Thanks, stuffer999
i cannot change the block lists. when i save the file it reverts back
I wish you coul actuly see the feed from the screen and right click to go into it that would be cool like the camera mod also this plugin is cool so keep up the good work.
what add-ons
@Pixiyo
The duplication bug was fixed in version 2.8. No need to worry.
