Surveillance device

A surveillance device, or surveillance camera, is a piece of technology used to visually record events happening in a specific area.

Chief of security Odo had several monitors in his security office aboard Deep Space 9 which recorded images from the levels and sections aboard the station. This included cameras on the exterior section of the station. 

In 2370, Commander Benjamin Sisko had all of the surveillance cameras on Deep Space 9 sabotaged in order to assist the senior staff in retaking the station from General Krmi's forces, during the Bajoran coup d'état. 

In 2371, after being surgically altered to resemble a Cardassian, Major Kira Nerys searched the house of Tekeny Ghemor for surveillance devices. He later stated they were present but only turned on at his request. 

Later that year, Constable Odo placed a surveillance device in the corridor of section 47, level 2 on Deep Space 9 in an effort to discover who was planning on placing a weapon in one of the bulkheads there.
