The AI CCTV video generator is for people who want a fake home security camera clip, the fictional night-vision scare or animal joke people post to TikTok and Reels; it is not software for real cameras. The prompt asks the model to keep your room’s layout and add the camera look and the event. One 6-second 9:16 video costs 8–216 credits (about $0.30–$8.03); the 3 sign-up credits do not cover one, and videos are watermarked until your first purchase.
How to make an AI CCTV video
- 01
Add a photo of the place
Upload one photo of a bedroom, hallway, kitchen, living room, porch or yard, ideally empty and taken from high up. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB; no people in the photo.
- 02
Pick what the camera catches
Choose the chair, the door, the hallway figure, the sheet ghost, the doll or the snack-stealing raccoon, or pick Custom, write your own event and add a photo of your pet if you like. Then pick the model and the resolution; the button shows the credits.
- 03
Check, download and label it
Watch whether the room still looks like yours and the motion holds together, download the vertical MP4 with its sound, and turn on the platform’s AI label when you post.
AI CCTV footage examples: six night-vision scenes
These AI CCTV footage examples show the six scenes on the scene cards, each from a different made-up room. They are silent, about 6.6 seconds long, and have the look the prompt asks for: a fixed camera high in a corner or doorway, infrared greyscale, grain and a white CAM timestamp at the top. For videos made here, the prompt asks the model to use your own photo as the room, and the model writes the sound.
Night-vision camera looking past a half-open door into an empty kitchen: a wooden chair stands still by the table, then topples onto the floor by itself near the end. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
Night-vision camera in a doorway looking into a dark living room: the white door slowly swings shut toward the camera while nobody is there. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
Night-vision camera down a long hallway with a patterned runner: a tall black figure with no face stands at the far end and steps closer. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
Night-vision camera at a bedroom door: a figure under a white bedsheet stands beside the bed, then drifts toward the camera. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
Fisheye night-vision camera high in a bedroom corner: a porcelain doll sitting on the carpet creeps across the floor toward the lens. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
Fisheye night-vision camera above a kitchen table: a raccoon eats a snack among the dishes and looks up at the lens. About 6.6 s, 9:16, no sound.
| Scene | What the prompt asks for in the six seconds | Best photo |
|---|---|---|
| Chair tips | Stillness, then a chair slides by itself, rocks on two legs and falls | A kitchen or dining room with a chair in view |
| Door moves | A door swings by itself, stops halfway, then creaks a little further | A doorway or a room with a door in the frame |
| Hallway figure | A faceless black figure takes two steps toward the camera, tilts its head; the picture glitches | A long hallway or a deep room |
| Sheet ghost | A figure under a white sheet glides out of a corner and turns to the camera | A bedroom with a free corner |
| Doll moves | A porcelain doll on the floor turns its head and crawls closer | A bedroom or nursery with open floor |
| Snack thief | A raccoon eating a stolen snack freezes when it sees the camera, then runs off | A kitchen counter, a table or a porch |
| Custom | Your own sentence, with an optional photo of your pet or an object | Any room or yard; describe one event, not a story |
People who only remember the picture usually describe it as a grainy black and white camera in the corner of a dark room, a timestamp just after 3 AM, and one thing that should not move: a chair, a door, a doll or a pale shape in the hallway. The raccoon card is the funny version for animal clips.
Is that CCTV video AI generated? How to tell AI CCTV videos apart
AI CCTV videos of ghosts, moving dolls and animals at night usually give themselves away in the details: a timestamp whose seconds jump, skip or turn into nonsense, objects that change shape or melt as they move, a room whose furniture shifts between frames, and an event that resolves perfectly within a few seconds. Real security footage keeps a steady clock and rarely frames the event so neatly.
Check the caption and the account too: creators often tag clips as AI, and platforms add an AI label when they detect it. A clip that only exists as reposts, with no original uploader or location, deserves more doubt. The videos this page makes are fiction from the start, and the timestamp in them is drawn by the model, not a real clock.
Is there an AI CCTV video app, or does it work in a browser?
There is no AI CCTV video app to install for this tool: the AI CCTV video generator runs in a phone browser such as Safari or Chrome and on a computer. You pick the room photo straight from the camera roll, and the finished vertical MP4 downloads to the phone, ready to post to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Generating needs a free account so the video and its credits are saved to you.
AI CCTV video free? Pricing, credits and watermark
AI CCTV video is not free here: one video costs at least 8 credits (about $0.30), and the 3 sign-up credits are not enough on their own. One 6-second video costs 39 credits on the default Seedance 2.5 at 480p (about $1.45), 88 at 720p, 24 on MiniMax H3 and 8 on Seedance 2.0 Mini (about $0.30). From a zero balance, the smallest purchase that covers one is $5 for 24 credits; the default video needs the $12 pack (220 credits), with no subscription.
| Question | What happens here |
|---|---|
| Price per video | 8 to 216 credits, set by the model and the resolution (about $0.30 to $8.03 at the lowest credit price); the default, Seedance 2.5 at 480p, is 39 credits (about $1.45). Every scene, Custom and an added subject photo cost the same. |
| Free credits | 3 sign-up credits, valid for 7 days. Not enough for a video on their own: the cheapest is 8 credits. Any credits count towards it, gifts included. Watching the examples and seeing every price is free. |
| Smallest purchase | The $5 Trial pack (24 credits) covers the cheapest video (Seedance 2.0 Mini, 480p), not the default one. The smallest pack that covers the default video is $12 (220 credits). One-time packs, no subscription needed. |
| Watermark | Videos from accounts without a purchase carry a moving site watermark. Any purchase unlocks clean downloads of earlier and later videos. |
| Length and format | 6 seconds, 9:16 vertical MP4; 480p to 1080p depending on the model (Seedance 2.0 Mini and Fast stop at 720p, MiniMax H3 offers 720p and 1080p). The CAM timestamp is drawn by the model, not a real clock. |
| Sound | The model generates the sound in the same pass: the prompt asks for a faint electrical hum, quiet room tone and the soft sounds of the event, with no music and no voices. What the model plays varies from take to take. |
| Failed or rejected | A photo or description that the safety check blocks is stopped before anything is charged. If the model fails or times out, returns a broken file, or Seedance 2.5’s review turns a photo down, the credits go back automatically. If the model delivers and only the final export on this site fails, the charge stays and support finishes the video from the saved output. |
| Finished but not right | A completed video is not refunded. Another take is charged again at the price on the button. |
| Model (6 s) | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | 39 (≈$1.45) | 88 (≈$3.27) | 216 (≈$8.03) |
| Seedance 2.0 Pro | 27 (≈$1.00) | 58 (≈$2.16) | 144 (≈$5.35) |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 17 (≈$0.63) | 35 (≈$1.30) | Not offered |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 8 (≈$0.30) | 16 (≈$0.59) | Not offered |
| MiniMax H3 | Not offered | 24 (≈$0.89) | 37 (≈$1.38) |
Credits for every model and resolution come from the same function the generator charges. Packs and plans are on the pricing page.

What the AI CCTV video generator gets wrong
The AI CCTV video generator has not been tested on paid runs for this page yet, so read these as the usual weak spots of turning a still photo into moving security footage: the prompt asks the model to keep your room, hold the camera still and play out one event, but results vary with the model and the photo. It makes one fixed six-second clip; it cannot make a longer story, a second camera angle or a real recording.
| What you might see | Why | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture moves, appears or disappears | The model redraws the whole room as night vision | A clear, tidy photo with the furniture in full view; another take |
| The timestamp jumps or shows odd digits | The model draws the timestamp; it is not a real clock | Another take, or cover it with your own text when you edit |
| The camera drifts or zooms | A model may add camera motion even though the prompt asks it not to | A photo taken from high up; another take or another model |
| The chair, door or doll barely moves, or moves too early | The model sets the timing itself | Another take; a photo where the object is large in the frame |
| Your pet looks less like its photo | Night-vision greyscale hides colours and markings | A sharp photo of the pet facing the camera, whole body in view |
| The sound does not match the event | The model writes the sound and its timing itself | Add your own sound when you post |
| Seedance 2.5 turns a photo down before it starts | The provider’s review refused the photo; the credits come back | A photo without people, or another model |
Use only photos of places you may share and keep out anything that identifies where you live, such as house numbers or street signs in a porch or yard photo. To swap a person into a real video instead, use the Genjutsu editor.
