When you get an alert that someone's at the door, or you go to check the CCTV in your backyard you definitely don't expect to see the head of a big brown bear looking directly through the camera right at you. It's a little disconcerting and thankfully this person had a prior warning before they left the house.2. An escape mission
Image source: Reddit
Amongst the craziest and most unexpected images found on CCTV was this woman climbing the walls like a real-life Spiderman. She's suspended between her house and next-door's house. The question was; why? Was she escaping from someone on the inside? Was she locked out and trying to get in?3. A venomous snake hiding behind the door

Camera doorbells do have some advantages. For example, when you hear the alert that someone's at the door you can check who it is before opening. And in this case, you'd be super thankful because otherwise there would be a venomous snake waiting right outside your front door.4. The serial tongue-licker - caught on camera!

Image source: Reddit
Now this is purely terrifying. The way this man in a creepy mask is staring at the camera sends shivers down your spine.

Three creepy masked figures

And what you also definitely don't want to see is the image of a man physically trying to break your door down. He was kicking, punching, and trying to force his way through the door in any way he could. After seeing this image on CCTV you'd definitely be struggling to sleep at night.8. A drunken call
Image source: Reddit
Most of us have been there at some point, but the majority of people manage to get away with sneaking home after a big night out WITHOUT getting the evidence on CCTV. Nobody wants to wake up to the realization that stumbling home wasn't as discreet as they thought, in fact, it's right there on camera.9. A wreath thief caught red-handed!

If you think your Christmas wreaths are safe on your door...apparently not. This woman was caught on someone's camera stealing their door wreath. She even checked it thoroughly before taking it as if she was searching for the perfect wreath to steal.10. A very terrifying dinosaur
Image source: Reddit
If you're hoping for an explanation for this one, we're sad to say that everybody who witnessed this image was left completely baffled by a variety of theories.

However when she realized she had spoken something inaudible and continued to leave the child.13. Mysterious masked man
Image source: Reddit
There's something so much spookier about a masked face. Perhaps it's because you really have no idea who it is at your front door.

The Amazon delivery thief caught in broad daylight

Here we have a raccoon hitching a ride on the back of a wild boar. It's definitely not something we see every day. The raccoon looks like he knows what he's doing and the boar looks perfectly comfortable. These partners in crime have spotted their nemesis...a fox!23. E.T came to visit
Image source: Reddit
What is this creature, seriously there seems to be no explanation for this walking non-human entity. It looks like E.T., or Dobby, or some alien-like creature.

Image source: Reddit
Really, before backyard CCTV and doorbell cameras the motto that was appropriate was 'ignorance is bliss'. Now, when a drunk man is shouting on your porch thinking that he's at a completely different house, you know about it, meaning that it's a little creepy for you and very embarrassing for him.29. Let's just scoop that right back in there...

"It's not actually a Ring doorbell (just a security cam), but we caught this mountain lion casing my car late one night."

A lost toddler in freezing temperatures
image source: reddit.com
"At 5ish in the morning... My husband half asleep answers the doorbell on his phone... It's a toddler wearing nothing but a pj top and underwear...

" A full grown man had a gun and shot someone, don't know if he missed or not, all I knew was I was scared."

image source: reddit.com
"Not a ring doorbell, but a small camera in my bedroom window. I caught a man watching me through the window in real time. My phone alerted me that there was movement outside my window, so I opened the live stream and watched the man watch me." That's terrifying.44. A visit from an ex
image source: reddit.com
"My wife's ex-husband in our backyard looking in the windows."
