Looks directly into the CCTV lens at all times — even while walking around, which a normal patient never does.
Don't confuse this with the visual-channel Staring anomaly (which tracks you in person and on camera with no rotation limit). This one is specifically about lens-awareness: it behaves like it knows exactly where the camera is and keeps eye contact with it regardless of what else it's doing.
The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly hasn't been documented by the community yet — we only publish what's confirmed. What is confirmed: letting an anomaly in usually triggers a Death Ritual, spawns a monster, or turns the patient into a Shapeshifter. A wrong treatment kills an anomaly with no penalty to you (it just lowers your end-of-shift reward), and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly nets +2 sanity. Tasing or shooting a normal animal by mistake costs −15 sanity — when in doubt, shutting the window is always the safe move.

The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly isn't documented by the community yet. Treat any confirmed anomaly the same way regardless: a wrong treatment kills them with no penalty to you but lowers your end-of-shift reward, and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly gives +2 sanity.
