Before You Begin
There are several points in the game where, should you progress too far, you will be unable to go back to previous areas to pick up missed items or collectibles.

Some achievements' progress does not save across playthroughs. Be careful to not lock yourself out of getting some by reaching certain parts of the game! You will have to load a previous save or start a new playthrough if you miss anything! Here are all the points of no return I know of:

Beta Grove: Destroy all the cameras and pick up the items/collectibles you want in here before progressing to jettisoning the grove .

Levels R to 7: Destroy all the cameras/CPU nodes and pick up the items/collectibles you want in these sections before progressing to Security (Level 8). Also keep in mind that you will lose access to any recycle stations once you enter the next area.

Level 8: Destroy all the cameras/CPU nodes and pick up the items/collectibles you want in this section before progressing to the Bridge (Level 9). Also keep in mind that you will lose access to your cargo lift once you enter the next area.

Level 9: Destroy all the cameras in this section before entering the area unlocked by the Isolinear Chipset .

Everything beyond here will be (mostly) unmarked spoilers.

Proceed at your own risk.
Level R - Reactor
Nothing in particular to note.
10 Cameras, 0 Nodes
Level 1 - Medical
Finding them all should be pretty straightforward.
20 Cameras, 4 Nodes
Level 2 - Research
There are surprisingly few cameras here.
2 Cameras, 4 Nodes
Level 3 - Maintenance
You can't get to the last camera and CPU nodes until you have access to the maintenance hallways to lower the security level a bit more.
17 Cameras, 3 Nodes
Level 4 - Storage
You will be unable to get the very last camera until you destroy all other cameras and CPU nodes in the area.
It'll be in Storage 9, opened by a 1% security level and access code 838 .
16 Cameras, 4 Nodes
Level 5 - Flight Deck (I loathe this one)
There's a camera behind a hidden door.
It's marked by my custom waypoint on the map. If you haven't noticed already,
I've been marking the hidden doors on the other maps, too .
13 Cameras, 1 Node
Level 6 - Executive
Pretty straightforward.
7 Cameras, 3 Nodes
Alpha Grove
Also pretty straightforward.
8 Cameras, 0 Nodes
Beta Grove
I wonder why it's all red...?

Jokes aside, bring sufficient healing and energy restores. Maybe consider picking up the environmental protection suit beforehand. You can find it in Storage 9 .
...And maybe don't forget to buy the mod-kit upgrade as well.
8 Cameras, 0 Nodes

Old version included if you have difficulty differentiating red and orange.
Delta Grove
Should be easy.
8 Cameras, 0 Nodes
Level 7 - Engineering
Map is a bit large.
21 Cameras, 4 Nodes
Level 8 - Security
Keep in mind that there are many floors in this area; just because you see a camera nearby on your minimap does not mean it is at the same height as you.
13 Cameras, 4 Nodes
Level 9 - Bridge
Victory lap.
8 Cameras, 0 Nodes
Afterword
I think, after going back and touching up the maps a bit, they look a lot better.

Hopefully this helped you. If it did ( I'm cringing as I write the rest of this sentence ), please leave a like. That'll improve visibility for it to help others who might need it as well.

Thanks.

I own the game on GoG, so Steam wont let me leave a like (so take some points), but I found this guide very helpful! Thanks!

@BADBADNOTGOOD Yep!

@Kalcys,Teleport to be on the same level?

@BADBADNOTGOOD Hello! If you're referring to the hidden door on Executive, you can only open it from the other side. There's a teleporter somewhere else that you can find to get there.

Hello! Please tell me. Screenshot of the guide deck, there is a marker next to the room (there are four more screens with codes). How to get into this room???

Even if I have destroyed all cameras and CPU nodes - no achievements. 0% in each level and nada.

Game will give you the achievement even if you missed cameras in Beta Grove. (at least for now)

First to do it, and in my time of need.
