# Jungle-Themed Surveillance Systems These Animal Cameras Capture People Without Them Even Noticing By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-camera References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/57014/) & [parson.it](http://www.parson.it/online/animals.html) These animal cameras will make for some pretty amazing candid photos. The cameras look exactly like animals one would find in the wild, so unsuspecting people passing by won’t have any knowledge of having videos or photos taken of them. Let’s face it -- usually [hidden cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance) aren’t that well hidden. People often notice these cameras immediately and act accordingly. These cameras however, will be incredibly hard to spot as they look exactly like common animals. While things like a giant grasshopper may seem a bit suspect, the [bird camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdfy-feeder-vista) is completely normal. For regular use, the animal cameras are perfectly usable, though it may look a little strange to see someone shooting video out of the front of a chameleon or an owl. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hidden Surveillance Cameras:** The trend of disguising surveillance cameras as animals presents opportunities for more covert monitoring in various settings. - **Candid Photography:** The use of animal-shaped cameras can revolutionize the field of candid photography by capturing authentic moments without raising suspicion. - **Seamless Integration:** The trend of creating animal-themed surveillance systems opens possibilities for seamlessly blending technology into natural environments without disrupting the visual aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Security:** The security industry can leverage animal-shaped surveillance cameras to enhance covert monitoring in public spaces or high-security areas. - **Photography:** The photography industry can embrace animal cameras to capture candid shots in settings where traditional cameras may be too intrusive. - **Design:** The design industry can explore innovative ways of integrating technology into natural surroundings by incorporating animal-themed surveillance systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Friendly Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reli-light-cam-d1.md) - [Camera-Compatible Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasserstein-bird-feeder-camera-case.md) - [Revolutionary Bird-Watching Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionized-smart-nest-box-nest-box-live-has-built-a-device-showing-bird.md) - [Dual-Camera Birdhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdfy-nest.md) - [AI-Powered Bird Feeder Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bird-feeders.md) - [Privacy-Focused Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visio-wifi-camera-concept.md) - [AI-Powered Bird Feeder Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netvue-birdfy.md) - [AI-Powered Bamboo Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-observation-device.md) - [Paintball-Shooting Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paintcam-home-security-system.md)
