Aluminium animals disguise CCTV cameras

 Italian designer Eleanor Trevisanutto  has been commissioned by an Italian company Parsons to transform security equipment in to animal characters.

These aluminium CCTV camera cases are designed to make electronic surveillance seem less intimidating perfect perhaps for a Zoo or childrens nursery. 

 This colourful idea was initially designed to create an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the otherwise harsh world of surveillance equipment. While some may argue that security cameras are intimidating for a reason, it ultimately succeeds in brightening up and lightening up the enviroments that rely on a calm atmosphere. Each camera is encased within brightly coloured, sand-cast aluminium, which resemble a series of tree-dwelling animals. 

The camera lens is hidden behind a semi-transparent black screen and the cameras attach to a wall via an armdesigned to look like a tree branch, with electrical cables concealed inside.

There are seven different animals but these are not currently for sale, anyone interested however can sign up to the Parson website.
