The Omnipresent Camera

"...Did we just break the Fourth Wall?"~ Santa Maria to Emperor Danos in The Christmas that Could've Been.The Omnipresent Camera is a semi-sentient monitoring device built by the Emperor of Evil as a gift for Emperor Daniel to keep a record of the supernatural activity on Earth. It also follows other entities around the world & even into other worlds, doing so as quietly & as stealthily as possible.

== History ==
On August 2nd, 2010, the Emperor of Evil had sensed the first Kaiser created with Yahweh's instruction had unlocked his powers for the first time. This Kaiser's name was Daniel Ledda, & Akujin was able to see what this child's future would end up becoming, to which he knew he'd need a special tool going forward. Creating a prototype atop of Mount Olympus, Greece, Akujin sent forth the Omnipresent Camera in nanite form to infect Dan's webcam, keeping record of any supernatural activity happening in his house for Dan to use in his YouTube videos. However, there was little to be found at the time, & Dan had not yet learned how to become a filmmaker, so Akujin would take matters into his own hands, creating an avatar for himself to star in a series about the war he was waging with Acoutor & his clone army.
Sometime in early 2013, Dan had been visited by Akujin, who struck a deal with him. Akujin would give him near-unlimited knowledge of the universe if he would in turn provide footage of the weird things that would happen in his life as a result of the growing amount of supernatural activity in his area. Dan agreed without a second thought, & so the deal had been made; Akujin had chosen Dan to bear the curse of knowledge. This would allow Dan & other select beings to see the Omnipresent Camera. Dan would take advantage of this invasive device & use it to make movies for his YouTube channel, as if he was making one gigantic documentary of the strange world he lives in. Because of the camera's ability to alter perception, YouTube itself nor the governments of the world were able to figure out what Dan would post would actually be real. But to make it a lot less creepy on his part, Dan initiated a special protocol for any entity engaging in supernatural activity on his territory to sign a waver that explains they might be seen by the Omnipresent Camera, shown only to the Gods for their amusement.
Dan would share knowledge of the Omnipresent Camera with his closest friends & subordinates, & over time some of them would take the mantle of director for event hosting, vlogs, etc. To this day it continues to do its job, with Dan sending as much footage as he can to Akujin & Yahweh for them to witness the events of their universe in cinematic fashion for their amusement. 
== Capabilities ==
Nanite Composition: The camera is made out of nanotechnology so it can change its appearance. Its preferred forms are cameras developed by Olympus, Nikon, Flip, JVC, & Apple.
* Invulnerability: The nanomachines also allow it to increase its durability, making it effectively shockproof. It has fallen over many times on land & in water, been hit with Billy Mays' Super-Hercules-Mays-Hammer, shocked by Electric Man, hit with a Chromithian pear by Dr. Sack, withstood Ro-Man's Calcinator Death Ray, & even took a hit from Dan wielding Stormbreaker. Magic also seems to have little effect on it. Its durability should at least be in the star system range, but given that it's been able to record fights between higher dimensional beings, it might have megaversal levels of durability.
* Cyber-Attack: When in its smallest form, the camera can infect other cameras with its nanites & not even leave a single trace of it being there.
Quantum Manipulation: This camera does not run on batteries, but is instead powered by quantum foam, the filling between universes. Because of this, it operates on different rules of spacetime.
* Chronokinesis: If it missed something important like a vital part of the cosmic narrative, the camera can travel back in time to collect more footage, but it needs someone to set the date on it for it to travel if it's for a long event. If it's as something as simple as a quick flashback, it can be done on its own.
*Spatiokinesis: The camera can exist in multiple places at once & can seamlessly teleport to anywhere in the Multiverse by warping through space.
**Dimensional Travel: It can go to any realm in the Multiverse & still work just as normally. Even in the esoteric realm of Leng it still operates just fine.
Selective Visibility: The camera only allows specific entities to look at it, to which it has revealed itself to roughly 204 people. This is how it remains undetected by the majority of Earth's population & how it almost always records events without anyone even noticing. It appears to act on its own accord more often than not.
Intangibility: The camera can phase through solid matter & even use this ability to dodge incoming energy attacks so it can keep the show rolling. However, sometimes it does not react in time, leading to abrupt endings of installments when taking too much damage. This ability is also how it can achieve a first person perspective, phasing through someone's head & looking through their eyes without any physical sensation of it being there.
Levitation: The camera does not always need a tripod, for it can float in the air with its anti-gravity technology. 
Perception Manipulation: To better keep the secret of the Terrachaoverse, when its footage is edited together it makes certain things look as if they are fake. This is why many of the entities in the series don't look as realistic as others, or why their powers can look like cheap special effects. When changing its physical appearance, anyone looking at it while it does so would have their vision clouded by colorful glitches. This happened to Imhotep in A Night of Freaks.
* Illusions: Often accidental, the camera's footage can glitch & display images of things that will be instead of what are. Examples of this can include moments during The Beast Who Threatens All where the rooms in Dan's house look like how they would 5 years from when the events shown actually happened (like having a different dishwasher).
Data Manipulation: All events recorded by the camera can be converted into any video file type, to which Dan has stored most of on his computer.
Text Manipulation: When editing its footage, the camera can spawn text if necessary.
== Limitations ==
It would seem that a sufficient amount of radiation or electricity can cause it to malfunction, as seen when Dan, Hazard Man, Slender Man are present around it. It is also prone to having its data corrupted if it either has not enough or too much quantum foam supply, & it does not have complete immunity to reality warping.
== Wielders ==
While hundreds of entities have seen the Omnipresent Camera, these are the few who it allowed to use it. This also includes filmmakers who had their own personal cameras infected by the Omnipresent Camera's nanites.

== Trivia ==
* The camera's existence is to explain why some characters in the series can passively break the Fourth Wall while others are oblivious to it.
* The types of camera it can shapeshift into are the many cameras that have been used over the years to film the Terrachaoverse series.
*Its random (& even inconvenient) timing due to its autonomous nature explains why certain events that sound very significant to the story have not been documented on-screen.
== Appearances ==
The Omnipresent Camera appears in literally EVERY installment of the Terrachaoverse series, so no videos will be listed here.
