RUST CCTV Camera Codes List (2026)

Use the RUST CCTV Camera Codes list with a computer station to spy on player movement in monuments.

This guide contains an up-to-date list of all RUST CCTV codes and provides step-by-step instructions for configuring a Computer Station to access each monument’s camera feeds.

Functional in-game cameras were introduced in the Official CCTV Update on March 5th, 2020. This update allowed players to set up surveillance around their bases, using a Computer Station to monitor and control the video feeds.

In addition to player-controlled cameras, several were installed at key monuments across the game world. Players can view live feeds using their computer stations by connecting to these monument cameras through unique identifier codes.

In the November 2024 Update, CCTV Cameras were updated to have 150 health points and can be disabled by players when shot, and they can now pick up player voices in the vicinity.

This guide covers the following areas:

• A complete and updated RUST CCTV camera code list
• Understanding the different types of camera codes
• How to assign identifier codes to cameras
• How to set up computer stations with camera feeds
• How disabled CCTV cameras work

RUST CCTV Camera Codes List

The Different Types of RUST CCTV Identifier Codes

There are two primary types of identifier codes.

1. Player-Created Identifiers – Created by players, used for base CCTVs, and can be modified.
2. Encoded Identifiers – Created by Facepunch devs, used for monument CCTVs, and hard-coded.

How to Set an Identifier Code for a RUST CCTV Camera

Configuring RUST CCTV identifier codes is a straightforward process:

1. Equip the hammer tool and look at the camera while holding the E button.
2. After a moment, a red and white option wheel will appear.
3. Select the “Set Frequency” option at the wheel’s bottom.
4. Enter a custom, case-sensitive value up to 32 characters long into the input.
5. Click the Set Identifier button to save the value.

After a CCTV has been mounted, has electrical power, and has had the identifier set, the Identifier can then be added to the computer station. Note that it is case-sensitive.

How to Set a Computer Station with a RUST CCTV Identifier Code

Configuring a RUST computer station with an identifier code is a straightforward process:

1. Mount a computer station by looking at the terminal while holding the E button.
2. In the screen’s lower-left, type in the case-sensitive CCTV camera identifier.
3. Click on the Add button.

After a successful CCTV identifier has been added, it will appear in a list in the lower left of the screen while mounted to the computer station. Click on the Identifier to view its live feed.

Disabled and Broken CCTV Cameras

When viewing a camera, you might receive one of two messages on the screen:

1. “No Signal” — This message indicates that an incorrect camera code has been entered or that the camera has been destroyed.
2. “Weak Signal” — This message indicates the camera is currently disabled.

Disabled CCTV cameras are the result of players shooting at or damaging them. Once disabled, the cameras will remain in this state for 5 minutes and display a static effect that obscures 95% of the view. However, the audio recorded by the cameras remains accessible. There’s an electrical static that’s visible around the camera when it’s in a disabled state.

Special Notes

Abandoned Military Base

The Abandoned Military Base monument is the second monument introducing dynamic CCTV codes. These codes will be based on the map and seed generated each wiping cycle. You can locate these codes inside the ABM monument’s communications tent at the computer station.

Underwater Labs

The camera codes for Underwater Labs are procedurally generated. This means that the available CCTV cameras for a given map’s Underwater Lab monuments will depend on what monuments were generated with their seed and map size.

In addition, four-digit codes are randomly generated and appended to each Underwater Lab’s CCTV cameras. To access these randomly generated codes, you must access the Underwater Lab’s CCTV Station module in a keycard-locked room. It’s possible for an Underwater Lab not to have one of these.
