Each camera can hold up to 1 hour of audio-visual recording of anything within 30 feet of it, after which the recording must be removed and replaced by you as an action. Each recording is small enough to be held in a single hand. Each camera is Tiny, has a walking speed of 10 feet and moves on your turn, and can be up to 30 ft. away from you. Each camera must be one of the following options:
