The Camera Spike is an equipment item featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It was first seen in the multiplayer teaser trailer.
Overview
The Camera Spike allows the player to see anything in front of it using thermal imaging in a box at the top left corner of the player's HUD, replacing the mini-map. To the contrary of what has been shown in gameplay footage, the mini map is not permanently replaced by the camera feed and can be brought up using the up button on the d-pad on consoles. The user must be aligned to face the part of the map that user wants to view. When the player picks it up, it is assigned to up on the D-pad. The camera spike can be destroyed by melee or bullets. If the player is dissatisfied with the placement of the Camera Spike, it can be picked up and replaced somewhere else.
