Cyber-eyes are an exception because they're paid for with essence. They have become part of the human. In fact, they can function WORSE inside the human.
Anyway, I'm going to guess OR being a threshold is from SR3. As far as I recall, it's always been a dicepool in SR4-SR6.
As for what a camera would resist with: I do agree with going with Object Resistance, I simply find it frustrating the rules don't state it as explicitly as they do with Manipulation and Detection spells. As far as I'm concerned: The footage won't show if the camera fails, but will show if the camera succeeds. So no retries later, can't have six people look at the footage to still pierce the invisibility. So a camera rolls 9 dice. But at my table, a drone's camera also rolls 9 dice to pierce the invisibility, not 15. It would roll 15 when resisting a Levitate, though.
First of, I still disagree with drones rolling Object Resistance against something made to fool their sensors. You're not flinging the drone, you're causing it to be misled by its sensors. If the drone's camera can't spot the invisible person, the drone's pilot shouldn't have a clue either.
Yes, SSDR, I eagerly promote that drones should roll Sensor OR against Illusions. I've found records of that opinion of mine going several years back. In my personal opinion, having drones roll their Object Resistance for sensor observation is rubbish, since it makes invisibility spells way too weak. Cheap spy-drones functioning far better than cameras against magic, makes said magic way too useless against security.
I mean, yes, you don't target single drone parts with combat spells, makes sense. But there's no proper explanation on whether a drone's OR applies even when it's sensing. Of course even if the rules did say so, I'd still argue it's rubbish. A drone observes through its sensors. That camera doesn't suddenly become better when it's a part of a drone. If you want to turn a drone into a Vessel, or Fling or Animate it, it makes sense that you face its 15+ OR. But I don't buy that a drone or commlink outbeats a camera when it's just using the onboard camera.
When you are navigating an area with many cameras, that 9 OR is already a big threat even against 5-hit Improved Invisibility. 4 Cameras already bring it to 50-50 odds. When you're facing a spydrone, which can be as cheap as 450 nuyen, an OR of 15 vs Improved Invisibility would already equal six cameras. To me, that is too easy. So I find it imbalancing, and would always go with the sensor OR myself. Otherwise, all it'd take to pierce invisibility is a car looking at it.
