Detection layer: Camera

Only visible through the security camera.

Camera anomalies punish teams that trust the window view too quickly. Use the security feed before admission and switch to the lobby camera when a side view makes the clue easier to see.

Some camera signs are visible for only a moment or change after reopening the feed. If the camera view contradicts the window view, treat the camera as the stronger warning.

Common mistakes

Skipping this check because the patient looks normal on another layer. Some Animal Hospital anomalies only reveal themselves through one specific view.

Waiting too long after the sign appears. Once a required check fails, close the shutters instead of trying to rescue the admission.

Quick run checklist

Name the layer first: window, photo, or camera. Then name the exact sign you saw. This keeps a team from arguing about whether the patient feels strange and turns the callout into a clear decision.

For Void / Black Patient, the key sign is: On the security camera, the patient appears completely void black including the eyes, with no visible features. Usually appears after the fourth shift.

The safe response is: A fully black patient on camera is always an anomaly. Close shutters before they reach the desk.
