CurrentCamera
This property is a Camera instance that is used to render children objects. Defaults to nil.
The Camera object will not replicate so the ViewportFrame/CurrentCamera won’t replicate either. If you save a Camera in the server, it will not appear in the client. When you set this property, Camera/CFrame and Camera/FieldOfView will be saved and replicate with ViewportFrame internally so the client can render ViewportFrame without a Camera object. If you want to change the client’s Camera, you have to create a new Camera using a LocalScript at runtime.
