0.2.4 camera persistance workaround: Apply settings to camera then cycle the toggle(take on and off cursor) and unequip the camera without selecting the configuration window in order to ensure camera views persist after removing camera from cursor.
This mod adds "Cursed Camera" research underneath "Optics".
Once researched, craft your choice of 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 cameras in the defense section of the inventory crafting menu.
Once crafted, click the camera item/equip to it to cursor. Camera(s) will appear onscreen as well as a configuration window.
WHILE HOLDING THE CAMERA ENTITY-> click within each camera window to individually configure.
NOTE: Settings are saved per camera entity, allowing you infinite configuration possibilities.
NOTE: The act of putting the camera on the cursor also silently toggles (on/off) whether they'll stay visible after removing item from cursor.
"It's literally like buying a CCTV system, installing the cameras, then viewing a live feed of those cameras anywhere in the world. Great for keeping an eye on defenses, power, whatever."

Future thoughts: The alert system would hit different if it could trigger surveillance views..
