Papercraft CCTV

Cory Doctorow at 1:42 pm Thu, Aug 28, 2008

Nude Magazine's got a free, downloadable papercraft CCTV camera, for freaking out your neighbors. Put one in the bathroom. The dog house. Use it for a hood-ornament. Build Your Own Nude Magazine CCTV Camera (Thanks, Alice!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I thought this would be funny for my cube but who in the hell are you supposed to print this out properly? Both IE7 and FF3 show it has huge and not fitting on one page. I would assume you wouldn’t want to “Shrink to Fit” as that messes with the original size of the images…and I just dumb?

“seeing that CCTVs are all evil and stuff, how would it be a good thing to freak out your neighbor with a faked one?”

It’s no worse than, say, doing this with bread.

CCTVs? Meh. MY neighbors, on the other hand, wonder just what it is that I’m burying in the backyard late at night. And why so often…

That’s funny. I also made a paper cctv template a couple of years ago and plastered the city of Cologne with them – a real fun project. Unfortunately most cameras were taken down within hours. You can see a few images here:

Better yet, make an papercraft CCTV camera and put a real pinhole webcam in it.

Well i see that it is funny but the first thought scared me.. it’s the cosmic rays; missing my tinfoil hat which was stolen by the aliens from underearth

Ok but, seeing that CCTVs are all evil and stuff, how would it be a good thing to freak out your neighbor with a faked one?

Can you see this as making people more comfortable with the idea of CCTV?
They’re taking a serious issue and making it a joke.

Its like making a board game where you play the president and attack Iraq, but with a Clue like direction. “Cheney with the fake Intel docs?” “No, it was Powell with the mobile missile lab!”
