So Recon Cameras are VISUAL usage only? Like if I use Camouflage, active or non, I can't rely on it like a Probe or standard sensors.

Probably. That's how I read it anyway. Like someone mentioned earlier the Void System might affect it, as would the Chameleon Light Polarization Shield. In other words, since it's a visual only sensor it would be logical to assume the same restrictions that apply to conventional infantry apply to it.

Even though the rules treat it like TAG now instead of a VISUAL aid.

Yes. Even though it's a different system type in the universe, from a game mechanics point it's irrelevant. You use the rules for TAG because they get the job done and honestly we don't need more rules. ;)

They already had rules that worked fine as they were.

Considering that Recon Camera's seem to new with TacOps, I find this an interesting statement
