<Half-Life 2> npc_combine_camera is a point entity available in the Half-Life 2 series.

Combine Security Camera

A ceiling-mounted camera. This is the more popular cousin of npc_turret_ceiling. A "glow" sprite, initially green, is attached to the rotating camera portion, and changes colors if it detects enemies within its radius. (specified below)

Bug.png Bug: The camera is coded to ignore NPCs that get into its inner radius, because that was how they behaved in the plaza at the start of HL2. This is easily fixed in mods though.
Note.png Note: Some keyvalues, flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
