Snapshot, don't stare
Staring at cursed feeds drains sanity fast.
1. Opening the Cameras
Icon or hotkey
Open CCTV with the camera icon in the UI, or simply press C to bring up the feeds.
This lets you watch the waiting room and hallways where the current and next patients linger.
2. Cycling Feeds
Scroll wheel without the menu
Use the scroll wheel to cycle between cameras without fully opening the menu. This keeps your hands free and your scan fast.
Cycle to the feed that frames the patient's face and body — usually the reception or waiting-area cam.
3. Camera-Only Tells
What the window never shows
Censored eyes — blocks or black bars over the eyes on the feed.
Unnatural body or a hollow face that looks wrong on cam.
Staring at the camera — the patient looking directly into the lens.
4. Protect Your Sanity
Quick snapshots over long stares
Cursed feeds can drain sanity if you linger. Take quick snapshots to confirm a tell, then close the camera rather than holding a prolonged gaze.
The Security class can deploy a portable camera, adding mobile CCTV coverage beyond the fixed feeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the CCTV controls in Animal Hospital?
Open the cameras with the camera icon or by pressing C. Use the scroll wheel to cycle through cameras without opening the full menu. Take quick snapshots rather than a prolonged stare.
How many CCTV cameras are there?
There are multiple feeds covering the waiting room and hallways. The exact count has grown with updates, but the reception/waiting-area cam is usually the one showing the patient longest.
What does CCTV catch that the window does not?
Camera-only tells: censored eyes, an unnatural body, a hollow face on cam, and patients staring directly at the camera. None of these appear at the check-in window or on the photo.
