Decision points
The confirmed location for Camera Figure is CCTV-visible spaces and apparently empty rooms or hallways.. Treat that location as a routing clue: Do not assume an empty room is safe when CCTV says otherwise. If the encounter is tied to a patient, complete the normal admission checks before choosing a response; the anomaly checklist explains the distinction between a patient anomaly and an enemy encounter.
The listed counter is Camera monitoring and route avoidance.. Do not assume the Gun is the default answer; follow the counter and keep the team route open.
Visible only through the cameras
The Camera Figure is visible only through camera feeds. It moves through areas that appear completely empty in person, and it can interact with the environment despite being invisible to the player standing in it.
That produces the specific mistake the record warns about: assuming an empty room is safe when the CCTV says otherwise. For every other threat in the game, your own eyes are the primary instrument. Here they are not.
Why this enemy makes cameras a standing job
Because the Counter is camera monitoring and route avoidance, the Camera Figure is only a threat when nobody is watching the layer that shows it. It cannot be engaged directly — only avoided — so monitoring is not preparation for the encounter, it is the encounter.
That makes it the second enemy after the Skinwalker that argues for a dedicated CCTV player on difficult shifts. Whether the feed is being watched is not a bonus; it decides whether this threat exists for your team at all.
Acting on a feed callout
The recorded team advice is that the CCTV player should call out Camera Figure movement before teammates enter that zone. The timing matters: the value of the callout is entirely in it arriving before the player walks in, not after.
Because the figure is invisible to the player being warned, the callout has to be trusted without local confirmation. A team that treats feed reports as less reliable than their own eyes will walk into this every time.
Response order for Camera Figure
- Monitor CCTV as a standing task rather than an occasional check.
- When the feed shows the Camera Figure, call out the zone it is moving through.
- Deliver the callout before teammates enter that area, not after.
- Avoid the occupied zone or proceed with extreme caution — it cannot be engaged directly.
- Do not treat an apparently empty room as safe when the feed disagrees.
Camera Figure FAQ
Can I shoot the Camera Figure?
No. It cannot be engaged directly and is only avoided. The recorded counter is camera monitoring and route avoidance, so the gun is not part of the response.
Why can I not see it in the room?
Because it is visible only through camera feeds. It moves through areas that appear empty in person while still being able to interact with the environment, which is what makes the feed the only reliable instrument.
What is the main mistake to avoid?
Assuming an empty room is safe when the CCTV says otherwise. Your own eyes are not the primary instrument for this threat, which is the opposite of how the rest of the game works.
How should a team handle it?
The CCTV player should call out its movement before teammates enter the zone. Since the figure is invisible to the player being warned, the report has to be trusted without local confirmation.
