Junior Security Detective Academy
CCTV Detective Mission
Follow the video path from camera to recorder and learn how to use footage responsibly.
A CCTV detective understands what cameras can and cannot do. Cameras can record useful evidence, but they have limits. Your job is to think about light, angle, privacy, storage and passwords.
Your mission brief
- Explain live view versus playback.
- List two things that can make footage unclear.
- Choose respectful camera angles.
Safety rule: A junior detective notices and reports. A trusted adult decides what to do next.
Mission activity
Read each card. Choose the best action, then reveal the answer.
Technology asks for a code
An app asks for a password or verification code.
Ask an adult before entering or sharing any code.
Privacy question
A camera could see more than the entry it is meant to protect.
Adjust the angle or ask an adult to check privacy.
