Worth noting: when trying to stealth your way through a mission undetected, weapons fire will alert nearby enemies even if it misses any target. This includes shots taken at cameras, even if you shoot just once and hit/kill the camera. This is to say that shooting a camera to remain undetected by the turrets and lasers can still alert 20+ nearby corpus. This means before you reflexively shoot a camera, you need to decide if you might be better off sneaking around the camera's cone of vision and simply leaving it alone.

Also, when spotted by a camera and it turns red, if you VERY quickly retreat out of vision - before any turrets fire any shots - nearby Corpus will remain unaware of your presence. The instant a turret fires a shot, though, your stealth is blown. Accordingly, if you alert a camera, back out, wait on turrets to retract, then slowly approach it again and either avoid or kill it before the turrets redeploy.
