Not a security guard, but I frequently review video for situations that happen at my work. I'm one of the most adept people in my building when it comes to using our camera system.
We had a situation that happened outside of our building that needed reviewing, but nobody was sure of the exact time. Queue to me watching a 12 hour block of footage (with as much as 16x fast forward) to get some details. I had my boss's boss in the office with me while he was working on something else as I stared at the computer monitor trying not to fall asleep. After half an hour or so, I finally spot the person I'm looking for and get excited so I lean forward right into the screen, scouring for previously unnoticed details. Right at that moment, a spider ran onto the camera lens.
Keep in mind, the recording I was looking at was days before when I was watching it and the camera was outside on the opposite side of the building from me. That didn't stop me from screaming so loud I could probably have been heard outside, causing the boss's boss to jump on his chair as if there was a cartoon mouse in the office. When I tried to explain it and rewind the video, I couldn't find the spider again and he just thought I was insane.
He always looks at me funny when he comes by to visit our building. He interacts with thousands of people in my same position all across the country, yet he remembers me for screeching about a spider that was never anywhere near me.
