Security camera videos help report the news
Security cameras watch over the insides and outsides of businesses.

EUGENE, Ore. -- The footage can be something less than high-def, but security camera footage takes viewers to the scene of a crime, an accident, an earthquake or an amusing incident in a way nothing else can.

If you own or manage a business and have access to entertaining or informative security camera footage, you can contact KVAL News by e-mail or call the KVAL Tip Line at (541) 685-KVAL (5825). You can even post videos directly to KVAL.com.

This puts your video in front of a local audience -- and in front of TV producers, who use YouNews submissions in almost every KVAL News show.

Here are some examples of raw camera footage from Eugene, Springfield, Portland and Seattle:
