Does anyone know how to make a Control panel that will let you take overthe view of the camera with a verb but you have to build the camera and build a control panel to do it?

You would use client.eye for that. I may be wrong; you r message was pretty unclear. On the developer forum you should be clear, informative, and specific. Also, good grammar and spelling makes you easier to understand.

Anyway, here's my interpretation of what your post:

mob/Player
    var/list/cameras

    verb
        Build_Camera()
            var/obj/Buildable/Camera/C=new/obj/Buildable/Camera(src)

        Build_Control_Panel()
            new/obj/Buildable/Control_Panel(src)

obj/Buildable

    var/owner

    proc
        New(mob/Player/P as mob)
            src.owner=P

    Camera
        icon='Camera.dmi'
        New(mob/Player/P as mob)
            ..()
            P.cameras+=src

    Control_Panel
        icon='Control Panel.dmi'
        verb/View_Cameras()
            set src in oview(1)
            var
                list/camList=list()
            for(var/i,i<=usr.cameras.len,i++)
                camList["Camera [i]"]=usr.cameras[i]
            var/obj/Buildable/Camera/C=input(usr,"Which camera would you like to view?","Control Panel") as null|anything in camList
            if(C)
                usr.client.eye=locate(C)//Look at the camera
                sleep(100)//After 10 seconds
                usr.client.eye=usr//Reset client.eye
