The footage, recorded around noon, shows the bear wandering around the facility's loading dock while being filmed through a door window.
The bear was reluctant to leave, when when rangers shot pepper balls at it, officials said.
The bruin eventually wandered away from the area without incident.
Area wildlife photographers said they spotted their first black bear of the season wandering the JBER area Mary 3.
