If you join a public lobby with the "No Camera Mod" enabled, you are altering the game mechanics for yourself. However, Payday 2 is a peer-to-peer (P2P) game. If you are the host, the cameras are removed for everyone in the lobby.
In Payday 2 , cameras function as stationary, unkillable sentries. They have a field of view, a detection meter, and in many heists (especially on Death Sentence difficulty), they are "Titan" cameras—indestructible metal boxes that cannot be destroyed without triggering an alarm.
While not strictly for stealth, this allows you to fly a "free camera" around the map to scout camera locations and guard paths before starting a heist. 3. Key Mod Features & Compatibility The Dark Side of Payday 2 Modding
