30+ People Who Watch Security Camera Footage for a Living Sharing the Most Shocking Things They've Seen

Watching security camera footage for a living can vary from a dull night to scenes that are all too exciting. From people who watch security cameras for a living to those who added ones to their own property, reviewing the footage can sometimes reveal some really shocking scenes. These are moments of surprise, caught on camera, that people shared on Reddit.

A Little Arachnaphobia

If you watch security cameras for a living, odds are you've seen many mundane things. Even those can be scary sometimes, though! This might not have scared everyone but it's definitely scary for an arachnophobic.

Seeing a spider is often startling enough without getting a view of these eight-legged creatures covering a camera lens. Even after you noticed it was just a spider, it's still a sight to make your skin crawl.

It's a Mystery

Even if you don't believe in ghosts, if you were to stay up all night reviewing security camera footage, you might get a little creeped out by the unexplained.

This person couldn't help but feel a little shocked every time they saw a door swinging wide, or even closing itself, for no apparent reason. Maybe it was just the wind or central air system cutting on but when you're watching for something suspicious, it's easy to get spooked by this.

Now That's Unfortunate

There are some things you never want to see happen and a security camera doesn't really allow you to warn someone. This scene almost seems like something out of a terrible, gross cartoon.

The only problem was that this time, it wasn't a banana peel that the person slipped on. Instead, it was a much more unpleasant surprise. We hope that the woman who slipped was okay and managed to move past this messy incident.

He Did What?

Being in a casino is something many people find hard to pull themselves away from. It seems that's what this person was having trouble with.

Still, it must have been a bit shocking for this security guard to watch someone step aside to use the casino floor as a bathroom like this. Although, the problem must've been more upsetting for whoever had to clean up the mess that this person left behind before they went about their business.
