How to Use CCTV in Home Alone (Anomaly)
Laptop camera workflow for Roblox players — feeds, night vision, and knock-ready rotation.
The laptop CCTV is your primary investigation tool in Home Alone (Anomaly) on Roblox. Peephole glances help, but most anomaly tells — invisibility, night vision silhouettes, dancing on cam, car smashes — require interacting with the laptop, cycling feeds, and toggling night vision under time pressure. Mastering CCTV separates random losses from repeatable 6 AM clears.
This guide teaches setup, rotation, room priority, and integration with chores. Pair with camera night vision tells and identify visitors.
Opening the laptop
Interact with the laptop in the house (location on house map). UI shows multiple room feeds plus door/exterior angles. Click or use console binds from PC controls and mobile/console.
Feed priority by knock type
Kitchen jobs (Firefighter, City Maintenance): kitchen + sink cams first.
Bath jobs (Plumber): bathroom cam.
Pet stories (Dog Owner): backyard/exterior.
Human mystery knocks: door cam → night vision → bedroom if Cat Lady.
Street jobs (Police Man, Streamer): exterior/street-facing before door admit.
Night vision discipline
Toggle night vision on feeds that support it — especially door and hall angles. Use NV for New Neighbour, Secret Agent, Lost Girl, Guy Who Needs To Pee, Sleepy Woman.
Turn NV off when checking City Maintenance brown water color — NV washes color tells.
Standard vs NV workflow
- Standard feed scan 3 seconds.
- If human at door, NV toggle 3 seconds.
- If job story, interior standard feed.
- Decide porch light.
Do not leave NV on all night — toggling preserves clarity on color/object tells.
Audio on CCTV
Wifi Kid anomaly uses camera shutter glitch sound on feeds. Wear headphones; glitch audio can reject even when video looks idle.
Invisibility tells
Homeless Man anomaly: figure invisible on all cams but audible at door. If standard + NV show empty door with voice, reject.
Behaviour tells on cam
- Dumped Girl — smiling stare into lens.
- Ballerina — dancing while knocking.
- Obby Player — smashing car on exterior feed.
- Dog Owner — owner on all fours barking.
CCTV during chores
Position chores along laptop routes. When knock SFX triggers, abandon long animations and interact laptop within 2 seconds. Survive the night covers timing.
Broken cameras
Wrong reject on Next Door Neighbour can smash CCTV. If feeds go dark, rely more on house/outside/voice until repaired — see voice outside.
Goblin Stalker interruptions
Interior jumpscare may flash edge of screen. Cannot harm you. Finish current feed read before moving — Vampire and Goblin.
Common CCTV mistakes
- Admitting on peephole only.
- Never toggling night vision.
- Checking one feed all night.
- Ignoring exterior cam for Streamer phone.
- Panicking off laptop after Stalker scare.
Drill routine
Private match: cycle all feeds in under 15 seconds, NV toggle at door, verbalize expected tell before knock resolves. Repeat until automatic.
Feed-by-feed cheat sheet
Use this when learning laptop layout (house map):
| Feed | Primary tells |
|---|---|
| Door | New Neighbour face on glass (NV), Homeless Man invisibility, Dumped Girl stare |
| Kitchen | Firefighter oven smoke, City Maintenance brown sink water |
| Bathroom | Plumber faucet drip |
| Bedroom | Cat Lady black vs white cat |
| Backyard / exterior | Dog Owner dog visible, Obby Player car smash, Police Man vehicle type |
Cycle feeds in that priority order when knock dialogue is vague.
Night vision timing rules
Toggle NV when:
- Human silhouette at door without clear job story.
- Secret Agent, Lost Girl, or Sleepy Woman archetypes named in dialogue.
- Standard feed shows shape but details look wrong.
Turn NV off when checking City Maintenance water color or Firefighter smoke — color tells need standard view.
CCTV under Sanity pressure
Below ~50 Sanity, players rush feeds and mis-read Party Girl echo audio. Slow to a fixed 10-second sequence: standard door → NV door → job room → porch decision. Pair with anomaly identifier tool on a second screen if needed.
