	The security camera (aka remote camera) has been a part of TDM for years, but has been rarely, if ever, used. Recent problems came to light when trying to use it, so I (grayman) decided to flesh it out for 2.06. That done, some issues supporting a more Thief-like camera model were discovered too late in the 2.06 release cycle to safely accommodate required changes in the camera, so work will continue into 2.07.
