* ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' has (at least) a sly little [[Shout-Out]] to this trope, in the form of a security camera labelled "Big Bro Security Systems" in an opening cinematic.
* While poking around the [[After the End|ruins]] of Washington D.C. in ''[[Fallout 3]]'' you can explore a demo Vault, in which the audio guide assures you that if you're "Concerned about security? Our Eye-On-You camera allows the Overseer to watch your every move. You'll never be alone again!"
