To unlock the Technician badge in the Roblox survival horror game Residence Massacre (created by MisterGamer_67), you must install all four surveillance cameras around the house during the preparation phase of Night 1. Completing this installation before midnight rewards you with the badge and unlocks the wearable "Headphones" hat for your avatar.
Residence Massacre Technician Badge Overview
The Technician achievement is an objective-based badge tied directly to the setup checklist in Night 1. While older community guides occasionally referenced three cameras from early game builds, the current version requires mounting cameras at four distinct outdoor positions.

| Specific Requirement | Set up all 4 cameras during Night 1 |
| Required Item | Ladder (found at the shed) |
| Time Window | 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM (Preparation Phase) |

How to Unlock the Technician Badge Step-by-Step
Installing the cameras requires proper sequencing during the five-minute preparation window before The Mutant spawns at midnight.
- Enter the House and Listen to the Radio: Walk inside the house immediately after spawning and interact with the radio to play the government broadcast regarding the chemical spill. The preparation countdown (running from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM) and external interaction triggers remain locked until you listen to this announcement. Interacting with exterior tools before this step triggers the prompt: "It's not the moment."
- Retrieve the Ladder: Head outside to the generator shed located on the back-left side of the property. The ladder is propped against the right side of the shed exterior. Click or tap to pick it up. Your character will think: "With this ladder, I could mount a camera outside."
- Carry the Ladder to a Camera Spot: Walk to one of the four designated mounting locations. Look for the transparent ladder outline on the ground beneath the camera mount.
- Place the Ladder and Mount the Camera: Click or tap the transparent outline to place the ladder. Climb up the rungs, then interact with the transparent camera silhouette to securely mount the camera.
- Pick Up the Ladder and Repeat: Descend the ladder, interact with it to pick it up again, and repeat the process for all remaining locations. The badge unlocks as soon as the fourth camera is fixed in place.
All 4 Camera Locations in Night 1
All four camera positions are marked by faint, transparent outlines visible during the daytime preparation phase. You must carry the fragile ladder between each site to reach the mounting points:
- Back Right House Corner: Located directly on the exterior wall at the rear-right corner of the house.
- Tree Behind the House: Situated on the trunk of the tall tree directly behind the residential building.
- Tree Near the Car Parking: Positioned on the tall tree located along the left side of the house near the parked vehicle.
- Power Pole in Front of the House: Located on the wooden utility pole near the road in front of the residence. Be mindful around 9:00 PM, as two speeding police cars travel along this road and can instantly run you over.
Using the Cameras After Installation
Once installed, the cameras can be monitored from the desktop computer in the upstairs bedroom right beside the staircase. Sitting in front of the monitor activates the feeds:
- Monitoring Feed: You can rotate the active camera view with your pointer and switch between feeds using on-screen side buttons. Press jump to leave the chair.
- Overheat and Fuse Risk: Watching the feed fills a circular gauge in the center of the screen. If the meter maxes out, the camera system overcharges and blows the fuse box on the back-right corner of the house, disabling all indoor lights and screens until repaired with a Wrench.
- Flash Mechanic: Cameras feature a "Flash" button powered by three recharging bars (requiring two full charges to fire). Flashing The Mutant while it lurks outside will scare it away, which also counts toward unlocking the separate "Spooked" badge. Firing a flash instantly fills the overcharge meter by half.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you earn the Technician badge on Night 2 or Night 3?
No. Official game data and wiki documentation confirm that the Technician badge specifically tracks mounting the four pre-night cameras outside the house in Night 1. While cameras also appear as purchasable drone deliveries in Night 2 and placeable trail cams in Night 3, they do not grant this badge.
Why won't the game let me pick up the ladder?
You cannot pick up the ladder until you go inside the house and activate the radio broadcast. Attempting to grab the ladder beforehand results in your character thinking "It's not the moment."
Does the ladder break during camera setup?
The ladder is designed specifically for mounting cameras and accessing the broken satellite dish beside the fuse box. Using it on designated transparent placement markers will not break it, but attempting to use it for unintended purposes causes it to break.
