It kind of reminds me of a nature program i watched some time ago, where they 'concealed' the cameras in plain sight by strapping them onto trees to get footage. Its important to remind ourselves that we are simple animals too, and when we don't see the 'guy' we don't feel the threat.
I'm not surprised it's been taken down from Youtube because, well, it's Youtube. But odd that it would be removed from archive.org.

Commentators arguing about a personal invasion of privacy, are forgetting how easily it is to correlate two or three different signals, and de-anonymize you, therefore formally putting the camera back at your face again.

with a large green panel that says: "CCTV Monitoring Station"
