Camera Mismatched Ears

Subtle feature changes — usually the ears — that only appear when you compare the desk view to the CCTV.

⚠ How to spot it: The ears or other features differ between how the patient looks at the desk and on the camera feed.
✔ How to respond: Compare desk vs camera, then deny.

Overview

This is the CCTV cousin of the photo mismatch anomalies. The patient’s ears — or occasionally another small feature — look one way at the check-in window and subtly different on the security feed.

The differences are deliberately subtle, which makes this one of the easier camera anomalies to wave through. If you only give the CCTV a quick glance rather than an actual comparison, the mismatch will not register.

Compare the two views carefully: hold the appearance you saw at the desk against what the camera shows. If the camera version of the ears does not match, deny entry.
