The Solitary World of CCTV

Hello! Actually, I don't think I've been asked it before.

I can't recall coming across anything disturbing or particularly unsettling. A lot of things I'd consider interesting or perplexing, though.

When I first got into this as a hobby many years ago, there was this lingering thought that I might see something shocking; a lot of CCTV cameras are around to monitor areas encase something happens, and I was big into Number Stations as a teenager so the idea of something being broadcast constantly like that that might be hiding something or suddenly change to something shocking really primed my brain to assume eventually I'd come across something like that. But so far, it hasn't happened.

I have sometimes come across cameras which have been defaced to have threats or offensive messages on them (often racist messages), from the perspective of the person or organization who owns/manages the camera it would be very unsettling, but a lot of these are on cameras systems with infamously poor security, so the messages are likely left by edgy people who think they're l33t hackerz because they can look up what a default password is.
