The Broken Camera Entity is a rare and disturbing CCTV anomaly. When you inspect a broken or malfunctioning camera through the CCTV monitoring system, instead of a static or error feed, the camera will slowly zoom in on a dark, shadowy humanoid figure standing in the room. This figure appears as a living shadow with no discernible features.
How to Spot It
When inspecting a broken camera feed: 1. Open the broken camera's feed from the CCTV monitor 2. If the feed is anomalous, the camera will slowly zoom in rather than showing static 3. A dark humanoid figure becomes visible as the camera zooms 4. The figure appears to be a completely black silhouette
Sanity Impact
Being exposed to this entity may cost sanity. If you notice the feed beginning to zoom, look away or switch cameras immediately to minimize sanity loss.
Strategy
- Fix broken cameras promptly to reduce the chance of encountering this anomaly
- If you see a broken camera feed zooming in, switch to another camera immediately
- The Security class's X-Taser or a gun can help if the entity becomes active
- Report the camera location to teammates so they avoid checking it
