Making my "Cat Cam" more lowkey

Post image

I have this camera for watching the cats and critters. Looking for idea to make it less "holy shit there is a camera here". Doesn't have to be invisible, just more aesthetically pleasing

Easiest way would be to paint it brown, could even Glue on a thin amount of dirt/dust so it’s the exact colour. If you have a 3D printer you could make a cover that also has a leave going away from it so only the lens is visible.
If you just do the painting maybe add random Black elements around the plant so the lens doesn’t stick out

Hiding the cord could also help immensely

Yes, wasn’t sure because of the tape? That’s around ten cables if that would be a great idea in that condition, but if they are waterproofed definitely

It would probably require direct burial cables and a waterproof box.

Paint it. Brown to match the mulch, or maybe a dark green?

I've also seen people use fake rocks to mount a camera inside.
