**Security** is an ability in *Among Us*, which any player, including ghosts, can use to get information about other players' locations.

## Usage

When accessed, Security displays fixed parts of the map, usually corridors, in real-time, as if the player was there. They are unaffected by vision or Fix Lights, but Comms Sabotaged disables them until it is resolved. Cameras can be used to know where players are moving, piece together the events preceding a kill, or even catch Impostors killing or using a vent on-screen. (Only if the Enginner role is disabled)

On the other hand, players using the cameras cannot move, see, or hear their immediate surroundings, or report a body. Additionally, for Impostors, they cannot Sabotage or kill and have their kill cooldown paused while they are using Security.

When the camera is in use, it will flash red, signaling that it is in use. Homever, This could end up alerting impostors. That's why you need to be careful if you're going to kill in front of the camera's field of view.

## Trivia

* If a player (living or dead) quickly repeats using and exiting Security, they can watch the monitors without activating the red blinking light. Crewmates can use this ability to catch Impostors killing or venting.
* Sometimes during Fix Lights, when a Crewmate uses Security, the red light does not blink, which is even more helpful for catching An Impostor killing a Crewmate.
* On Polus while viewing Security, in the bottom left-hand corner is a small blue logo that says "Bell". This may be a reference to the real-life company Dell, as the logo is in the same font and the letter E is rotated in both.
* Previously, moving just before using Security would affect the cameras' positions.
* MIRA HQ is the only map without Security, being replaced with Doorlog in Communications.
* Ghosts can see only the hats and names of other ghosts on Security.
* There are seven cameras on The Airship but only six camera views.
	+ This is because the two cameras in Records are merged to one view.
* The Security button does not appear on The Airship; the standard Use button appears instead.
* The Security button's logo shows the four screens of the Security setup on The Skeld.
