Disclaimer: your the gm and you set the rules and I’ll go with whatever your ruling is.
My understanding is all wireless devices have visible icons (unless running silent). That does not change if they are in a pan or slaved to a host.
In fact the only way to actually find a camera is to use ar because it also has positional information and you can see it in meatspace. If you used vr you would see jundreds of cameras within your 100m vicinity and be unable to decipher which one is the right one.
If the camera is hardwired to the host then there would be no wireless icon.
I tried to find the passage that said that things where invisible when in a host and now I see that I may have added the passage.
5th Core Page 246,The virtual space inside a host is separate from the outside grid. When you’re outside of a host, you can’t interact directly with icons inside it, although you can still send messages, make commcalls, and that sort of thing. Once you’re inside, you can see and interact with icons inside the host, but not outside (with the same caveat for messages, calls, etc.).I think because the second part said you can see and interact with icons inside the host I was thinking that the opposite was not true even though it only says you can't interact in the second sentence. It also made sense to me that security devices would be harder to hack if you could not see them while outside the host. This made sense from a security standpoint. This would go for IC and files and so on. If they where visible then your beautiful sculpted host would have thousands of icon cluttering up the sculpted host. Which never made sense to me, why sculpt the host then? This may be incorrect and I can accept that but I think it makes more sense if they are not unless you are directly connected to them, of course. I would love to know a definitive answer though as it always seemed cloudy to me so please feel free to discuss.
I was also looking for cameras and such on buildings on the other side of the street and nearby, not just on the university premises (unless we're totally surrounded by university owned buildings?)
Three questions will be on its ratings basically, I'm after its firewall primarily and also whether I can get a guest account to view its public areas or whether I'll need to hack a mark
The Cameras and security of most of the buildings outside are also hosted as well as most buildings in this area have a host for their own. Their are several areas where you are sure that someone could stealth up and connect a wireless tap to give you direct access to be able to get a mark on a slave though an therefore a host.
The Firewall of the host is 6, The rating of the host is 4. No visitors account exists just a RFID that has the equivalent of a static webpage in todays world. Registered students would have a permanent mark set up for their persona within the foundation of the host itself so they could access the buildings they should be allowed to access.

3 hits on Assensing the area.

6 hits to summon a Force 6 Beast spirit.

It has 0 hits to resist.

I got 1 hit to resist the physical fade. So, I believe I take 1 physical damage.
I got 6 tasks, but due to Spirit Whisperer, the Spirit comes out as a Force 7 spirit. For its two optional powers, I'm taking Search and Concealment.
Just a quick modifier if you add "t5" to the end of your dice codes so "16d6t5" it will roll the dice and count success instead of totaling them for you. Also if you don't mind I would like to roll resistances and NPC dice. You get 6 tasks.
Where is spirit Whisperer again? Does it add to the force summoned during the summoning or after. if so it may change the force for the purpose of determining if drain is physical or stun. but yes 1 would be left over for damage.
