Cam shake

Unity Engine
1

I would like to have a constant yet mild shake on my Main Camera, since the level in question is an engine room level so it makes sense for the camera to shake a little bit all the time. This script works but it impedes my camera movement script. I need my cam to move as well as shake constantly, heres the script:

public Transform camTransform;
   
    // How long the object should shake for.
    public float shake = 0f;
   
    // Amplitude of the shake. A larger value shakes the camera harder.
    public float shakeAmount = 0.7f;
    public float decreaseFactor = 1.0f;
   
    Vector3 originalPos;
   
    void Awake()
    {
        if (camTransform == null)
        {
            camTransform = GetComponent(typeof(Transform)) as Transform;
        }
    }
   
    void OnEnable()
    {
        originalPos = camTransform.localPosition;
    }
   
    void Update()
    {
        if (shake > 0)
        {
            camTransform.localPosition = originalPos + Random.insideUnitSphere * shakeAmount;
           
            shake -= Time.deltaTime * decreaseFactor;
        }
        else
        {
            shake = 0f;
            camTransform.localPosition = originalPos;
        }
    }
}

The second thing Id love to have is an OnMouseDown camera shake. I can find lots of help regarding on collision shake but I need my camera to shake a lot more then the mild constant shake when specific objects are clicked, anyone Know or have a script to do that without impeding on other camera movement scripts?

Easiest way is to parent the camera to an empty object.
Apply camera shake script on actual camera, but use empty parent object for cam movement.
