The Playtime Co. Virtual Security System is a virtual leak for Playtime Co.'s security system first revealed on Playtime Co.'s Merch Tape. The security system was initially created to tease Mommy Long Legs long before the release of Chapter 2: Fly in a Web. Although being confirmed to be updated, it had only received one update after said statement. The site now resides in a static format.
The security system would make more returns in future ARGs. Its first return was on Rowan Stoll's Computer Database, where cameras teasing upcoming locations in Project: Playtime would possess the same tag on the top-right corner. Its second return was in the Chapter 3 Interactable ARG, albeit with no labeling. Its third return was in the Chapter 4 Icepick ARG, though only the audio feed was accessible to users.
Analysis
Virtual Security Leak
After being teased by Leith Pierre during Playtime Co.'s Merch Tape, the website would only offer three cameras featuring the Main Lobby, the hallway to the Make-A-Friend room, and the catwalks leading to Poppy's Room are all depicted with a grainy, vintage filter. On November of 2021, a bloody Cat-Bee toy could be seen laying on the floor covered in blood, surrounded by its trail of blood. Approximately three days later, this Cat-Bee doll disappeared; however, the bloody trail stain still remained on the floor.
A few days later, the cameras appeared to shine bright when staying on them long enough. A month passed before on January 20, 2022, a hand connected to an elastic wire could be seen on Camera 08. The security system would undergo two more URLs the following year before constantly being shut down and reinstated. On October of 2022, the cameras would officially only appear as static and the website would no longer be updated.

Rowan Stoll's Computer Database
During the ARG's time, fans would crack passwords locking Rowan Stoll's recording along with security camera footage that capture many locations such as the Theater and the Playtime Factory. The security cameras would only tease said locations, and only the last two captured footage featuring Rowan Stoll's death by the hands of Boxy Boo are considered important.
Chapter 3 Interactable ARG
The Chapter 3 Interactable ARG took place on an emulated computer, presumably owned by Leith Pierre given that the user logs in with his password. One of the applications on the computer was a CCTV network feed consisting of eight cameras. Each one features locations from Chapter 2: Fly in a Web. You could access these cameras by going here and entering the password 0mniscient_Eye.
Speculation
During the time the Virtual Security Leak was active, not much speculation would undergo as the community was still relatively small at the time. However most speculation would spread during the final documented update of the camera system that we now know was teasing the antagonist Mommy Long Legs and her elastic plastic. Fans of the series would speculate this hand to what is a GrabPack hand or even a bloody hand stain alongside a rope jammed in the Make-a-Friend machine. It wouldn't be until the Playtime Co. Digital Collectibles would discussion about a new antagonist would ensue.
