Gothix DeckCam (Cyberdeck Peripheral)

A physical peripheral, installed exactly like ShadowROM (see
help insert):

    insert deckcam in <deck>

While fully jacked into the NET, your normal meatspace senses are
unavailable -- but an installed DeckCam gives your vulnerable physical
body a limited live visual bridge back to the meatspace Room it is
actually lying in. It shows exactly what an ordinary help look
there would show (the same visibility/Stealth/concealment rules
apply) -- never through walls or closed containers, never your
canonical hidden identity.

Usage:

    deckcam
        shows the current camera view and enables live forwarding of
        arrivals/departures in that physical Room while you stay
        immersed

    deckcam off
        disables live forwarding

Visual only -- DeckCam is a camera, not a microphone.

DeckCam is NOT an event recorder; for your deck's own session log see
help black box.
