Camera Pairing

This guide explains how to pair cameras. Since camera devices have several different types, they are covered in a separate guide.

Rust Toolbox supports four camera-related device types:

  1. CCTV camera
  2. PTZ camera
  3. Drone
  4. Auto turret

Although there are only four device types here, the event logic system gives you many ways to combine conditions and actions.

Important

All pairing operations require you to hold the wiring tool in game.
