Bioshock Hints
How can I deal with the security camera?
1 of 7: One way is to hide when it sees you and sneak by it while it's not looking.
2 of 7: Another way is to destroy it with the pistol or machine gun. (Armor-piercing rounds will do it the most damage.)
3 of 7: But the best way is to hack it.
4 of 7: Sneak over to where you're directly underneath it without it spotting you, then look up at it and hit the Hack key.
5 of 7: After you hack it, you can ignore it since it's friendly to you and hostile to your enemies now.
6 of 7: TIP: Wait to hack it until after you pick up a nearby hacking-related tonic (see link below).
7 of 7: TIP: If you lost your security bot from earlier and want another one (or two), you can wait to hack this camera until after it sounds a security alarm and summons in some bots. (See the Security Device Tips.)
