The fake security camera footage prank, starring your own place
Most fake CCTV prank videos show someone else's car park. Cursed Cam uses photos of your own home or office, so the footage on the monitor looks like it's coming from right here.

4, 9 or 16 photos of your house, garden or venue
JPG, PNG or HEIC. Phone photos are perfect.
How the fake CCTV prank works
Upload 4, 9 or 16 photos of your place. We turn them into night-time security camera stills, and you name each camera: HALLWAY, GARAGE, BACK OFFICE. AI makes looping clips for every camera: a quiet one, people passing, and something wrong.
Then open your private monitor link on a laptop or TV and leave it running. It looks like a real security console, with timestamps, REC, motion boxes and NO SIGNAL dropouts. Someone glances over. Something is standing in the garage. That's the prank.
Fake security camera footage, 1 hour or all night
Search for fake security camera footage 1 hour and you get a fixed video of a building nobody recognizes. Our monitor isn't a video. It's a live page that keeps mixing clips across cameras, with dropouts and motion alerts, for as long as the tab is open.
So it can sit on a desk all afternoon and the scare lands whenever someone finally looks. On the 4×4 Pro grid that's 16 cameras and 48 clips, which is a lot of screen for one person to watch.
Keep it a prank, not a problem
Good pranks end with everyone laughing, so plan the reveal. Show them the photos you took. Show them the Cursed Cam page.
A few rules. Don't present the footage as evidence of anything, and never send it to police, landlords, employers or insurers. Don't aim it at someone who'd be genuinely frightened, like an anxious kid, an elderly relative or someone who'd feel unsafe at home afterwards. Only upload places you own or have permission to film. Your photos stay private to you and are never used for training.
What it costs
Party is $79: 4 cameras, 12 clips. Haunt is $169: 9 cameras, 27 clips, a story that moves across cameras and a power cut. Pro is $299: 16 cameras, 48 clips, the full 4×4 security wall. One payment. Then never again.
Want every camera to have a second scare? That's $29. It takes about an hour to make, and remakes are free if a clip doesn't land. You can refund yourself any time before generation starts.

Questions
Is this fake CCTV camera footage live?
It looks live: a running clock, REC, motion detection. But nothing is being filmed. It's AI clips made from your photos, played on a monitor page in your browser.
Do I need real security cameras?
No. You just need photos of the place. Phone photos are fine. We turn them into night-time security camera stills.
Can I use it to make someone think a real crime happened?
No. Please don't. This is for jokes with a reveal. Don't use it as evidence, don't report it as real, and don't use it to frighten people who'd be hurt by it.
Whose places can I photograph?
Only places you own or have permission to film. Your own home, your office with the boss's OK, a friend's house with the friend's OK.
Can I pick what the scary bit is?
Each camera gets a something-wrong clip: a figure, a shadow, a creature or lights failing. If one doesn't work, use a free remake. Pro includes 12.
