Every big monument in Rust has security cameras bolted to its walls, and every one of those cameras has a name. Type that name into a Computer Station and you are looking at the Large Oil Rig helipad, the Outpost street or the Cargo Ship deck from the safety of your own base. Those names are the CCTV codes.
This CCTV codes Rust guide lists every fixed monument camera code that works in 2026, explains the codes that change every wipe at the Underwater Labs and the Abandoned Military Base, shows exactly how to add a code to your station, and covers setting up your own CCTV cameras, PTZ cameras and drones.

All Rust CCTV Codes (2026)
Here is the full list in one table. Copy a code exactly as written, in capitals, with no spaces. These are the static cameras placed by Facepunch, so they work on every official server and do not change when the map force wipes.
| Monument | Cameras | CCTV codes |
|---|---|---|
| Large Oil Rig | 13 | OILRIG2HELI, OILRIG2DOCK, OILRIG2EXHAUST, OILRIG2L1, OILRIG2L2, OILRIG2L3A, OILRIG2L3B, OILRIG2L4, OILRIG2L5, OILRIG2L6A, OILRIG2L6B, OILRIG2L6C, OILRIG2L6D |
| Small Oil Rig | 6 | OILRIG1HELI, OILRIG1DOCK, OILRIG1L1, OILRIG1L2, OILRIG1L3, OILRIG1L4 |
| Missile Silo | 5 | SILOTOWER, SILOEXIT1, SILOEXIT2, SILOSHIPPING, SILOMISSILE |
| Cargo Ship | 5 | CARGODECK, CARGOBRIDGE, CARGOSTERN, CARGOHOLD1, CARGOHOLD2 |
| Outpost | 4 | COMPOUNDSTREET, COMPOUNDMUSIC, COMPOUNDCRUDE, COMPOUNDCHILL |
| Ferry Terminal | 4 | FERRYDOCK, FERRYPARKING, FERRYUTILITIES, FERRYLOGISTICS |
| Radtown | 3 | RADTOWNHOUSE, RADTOWNSBL, RADTOWNAPARTMENTS |
| Bandit Camp | 2 | CASINO, TOWNWEAPONS |
| The Dome | 2 | DOME1, DOMETOP |
| Airfield | 1 | AIRFIELDHELIPAD |
| Underwater Labs | Varies | Room name plus 4 random digits (see below) |
| Abandoned Military Base | 2 | COMPOUND or OUTDOOR plus random digits (see below) |
Every other monument, including Launch Site, Military Tunnels, the Train Yard, the Power Plant and the Arctic Research Base, has no fixed camera you can add. The monuments guide covers what each of those places holds instead.
Oil Rig CCTV Codes
The two oil rigs have more cameras than everywhere else put together: 13 on the Large Oil Rig and 6 on the Small Oil Rig. The codes follow a simple pattern. OILRIG1 is the small rig, OILRIG2 is the large one, and the ending tells you where the camera points: HELI for the helipad, DOCK for the boat dock, EXHAUST for the large rig’s chimney stack and L1 to L6 for each level.
| Small Oil Rig | Large Oil Rig | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| OILRIG1HELI | OILRIG2HELI | Helipad on the roof |
| OILRIG1DOCK | OILRIG2DOCK | Boat dock at sea level |
| – | OILRIG2EXHAUST | Exhaust stack |
| OILRIG1L1 to OILRIG1L4 | OILRIG2L1, OILRIG2L2 | Lower levels and stairs |
| – | OILRIG2L3A, OILRIG2L3B | Level 3, two angles |
| – | OILRIG2L4, OILRIG2L5 | Levels 4 and 5 |
| – | OILRIG2L6A to OILRIG2L6D | Level 6, four angles |
The rig cameras are the most useful codes in the game. Before you fuel up a boat, check the dock and helipad cameras for parked boats and minicopters, then the upper level cameras to see who is already inside. If the heavy scientists are already walking around, someone just called them in. Our Oil Rig guide covers the run itself.
Outpost, Bandit Camp, Dome, Airfield and Radtown Codes
The land monuments have fewer cameras, but they cover the busiest spots on the map. The safe zone cameras are great for checking who is shopping before you leave, and the Dome cameras show whether anyone is climbing for the crates at the top.
| Monument | CCTV codes |
|---|---|
| Outpost | COMPOUNDSTREET, COMPOUNDMUSIC, COMPOUNDCRUDE, COMPOUNDCHILL |
| Bandit Camp | CASINO, TOWNWEAPONS |
| The Dome | DOME1, DOMETOP |
| Radtown | RADTOWNHOUSE, RADTOWNSBL, RADTOWNAPARTMENTS |
| Airfield | AIRFIELDHELIPAD |
Missile Silo, Cargo Ship and Ferry Terminal Codes
These three cover the big events. The Missile Silo cameras show the tower and both exits, so you can tell whether a group is inside before you drop in. The Cargo Ship cameras move with the ship: add them once and you can check the deck and holds wherever the ship is on its route, which makes it easy to see if another team is already on board.
- Missile Silo: SILOTOWER, SILOEXIT1, SILOEXIT2, SILOSHIPPING, SILOMISSILE
- Cargo Ship: CARGODECK, CARGOBRIDGE, CARGOSTERN, CARGOHOLD1, CARGOHOLD2
- Ferry Terminal: FERRYDOCK, FERRYPARKING, FERRYUTILITIES, FERRYLOGISTICS
Underwater Labs and Military Base Codes (Random)
Two monuments do not have fixed codes. Their cameras use a fixed word followed by random digits that are different on every server and every wipe, so no list online can give you the full code.
| Monument | Code format | How to get the full code |
|---|---|---|
| Underwater Labs | Room name + 4 digits, for example LAB1234. Rooms: AUXPOWER, BRIG, CANTINA, CAPTAINQUARTER, CLASSIFIED, CREWQUARTERS, HALLWAY, INFIRMARY, LAB, LOCKERROOM, OPERATIONS, SECURITYHALL, TECHCABINET | Sit at the Computer Station inside the lab. Its camera list already holds that lab’s codes, so write them down. |
| Abandoned Military Base | COMPOUND or OUTDOOR + a random number | Read it in game at the monument; it changes per server. |
Each lab is built from random modules, so not every room name exists in every lab. Only the rooms your lab actually has will show up on its station.
How to Use CCTV Codes in Rust
All you need is a Computer Station. It is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 5 high quality metal, 1 Targeting Computer, 1 RF Broadcaster and 1 RF Receiver, or you can skip the loot-only Targeting Computer and buy a finished one at Outpost for 300 scrap. The station itself does not need power.
- Place the Computer Station on a floor or foundation, ideally in a walled room where nobody can shoot you while you watch.
- Hold E on the station to sit down and open the screen.
- Type the code into the identifier box at the bottom left, in capitals, for example OILRIG2L6A.
- Add it to your list. The camera is saved on that station. Repeat for every code you want.
- Click a saved camera to open its live feed and switch between them as you like.
Setting Up Your Own CCTV Cameras
The same station also shows your own cameras. Unlike the monument cameras, these need power and you choose their code yourself.
| Device | How to get it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CCTV Camera | Loot only: locked crates, Bradley and heli crates, elite and military crates | Fixed view, needs power |
| PTZ CCTV Camera | 1 CCTV Camera + 150 metal fragments at Workbench 2 | Pan, tilt and zoom from the station, needs power |
| Drone | 1 CCTV Camera + 200 metal fragments at Workbench 2 | Fly it from the station within a limited range |
- Place and power the camera. Wire it to a battery or solar setup.
- Hold E on the camera and set its identifier. Pick something short you will remember, like FRONT or LOOT1.
- Type that identifier into your Computer Station and add it, exactly like a monument code.
Because CCTV cameras recycle into tech trash and also go into auto turrets, decide early whether a spare camera is worth more on your wall or in a turret.
Rust CCTV Tips
- Scout before every monument run. A ten second look at the rig or Silo cameras can save you a wasted trip and a full kit.
- Always type in capitals. A lowercase code will not add, and that is the most common reason a code seems broken.
- Buy the station early. 300 scrap at Outpost is usually faster than hunting a Targeting Computer.
- Copy lab codes on the spot. When you run an Underwater Lab, add its codes from the lab’s own station so you can watch it from home for the rest of the wipe.
- Cover your turrets. A camera on each turret shows exactly where a raid is hitting.
- Re-add after a wipe. The codes stay the same, but your station does not survive the monthly force wipe, so add them again on the new map.
Rust CCTV Codes FAQ
What are the CCTV codes in Rust?
They are fixed camera names you type into a Computer Station to watch a monument. There are 45 fixed codes across 10 monuments, such as OILRIG2HELI for the Large Oil Rig helipad, COMPOUNDSTREET for Outpost and CARGODECK for the Cargo Ship.
Do Rust CCTV codes change every wipe?
No. The monument codes are the same on every server and every wipe. Only the Underwater Labs and the Abandoned Military Base add random digits that change, and Facepunch can rename cameras in a map update.
Why is my CCTV code not working?
Codes are case sensitive, so type them in capitals with no spaces. Codes from old lists such as AIRFIELDGARAGE and COBALT1 do not add, and OILRIG1EXHAUST is not in the current camera data.
What are the Oil Rig camera codes in Rust?
The Small Oil Rig has OILRIG1HELI, OILRIG1DOCK and OILRIG1L1 to OILRIG1L4. The Large Oil Rig has OILRIG2HELI, OILRIG2DOCK, OILRIG2EXHAUST, OILRIG2L1, OILRIG2L2, OILRIG2L3A, OILRIG2L3B, OILRIG2L4, OILRIG2L5 and OILRIG2L6A to OILRIG2L6D.
How do I find the Underwater Lab camera codes?
They are a room name plus 4 random digits, such as LAB1234, and change per server. Sit at the Computer Station inside the lab and its camera list shows that lab’s full codes.
Does the Launch Site have CCTV codes?
No. Launch Site, Military Tunnels, the Train Yard, the Power Plant and the Arctic Research Base have no fixed cameras you can add.
Does a Computer Station need power in Rust?
No. The Computer Station works without power. Your own CCTV and PTZ cameras need power, but monument cameras do not need anything from you.
Can you craft a CCTV camera in Rust?
No. The CCTV Camera is loot only, from locked crates, Bradley and heli crates and elite or military crates. The PTZ camera and the drone are crafted from a CCTV Camera plus metal fragments at Workbench 2.
