Cctv Door Cam

What it does

This prompt instructs an AI video generator to create a short, photorealistic vertical CCTV-style clip of a suburban front yard viewed from a fixed camera above a front door, with bright natural sunlight and subtle grain. A specified subject approaches along the pathway, stops beneath the camera, looks up, smiles, and says “Hello,” while realistic ambient outdoor sounds and a voice matched to the subject’s characteristics complete the scene.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: video.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "video".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "video" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
  • subject (default: An American young woman)
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model sora-2 and its available options. Look up sora-2 in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "video") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model sora-2, options {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use cctv-door-cam).

Command form:

betterprompt generate cctv-door-cam \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: sora-2.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate cctv-door-cam \
  --input 'subject=An American young woman' \
  --model sora-2 \
  --options '{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}'
