The mingo cam

The design embraces vintage garden decor with a humorous twist, hiding modern tech inside a familiar, nostalgic form. With built-in motion detection, a subtle lens placement, and solar-powered functionality, The Mingo Cam proves that security doesn’t have to be boring — it can be fabulous.

This concept project blends kitsch charm with functional tech: a classic pink yard flamingo redesigned as a discreet outdoor security camera. I created The Mingo Cam as aplayful yet practical solution for home surveillance —something that protects your home and adds a little personality to your yard.
