a spycam that can be easily recognized even by a child is not counted as spycam :|

No, but if you positioned the camera lower, you could hide that with casked wine in the with the drinks, looks like a fancy cask to me.

You can leave the lens off if you use a 'pin hole' in the side of the box. It will act like your lens and it is very difficult to see. I have a Kleenex box set up like that.

Where do you have this box?

The end table beside the sofa. It records automatically while I'm at work.

Are you doing a self-time-and-motion study? (sorry about the original question, but I associate Kleenex with bathrooms normally)

Its a security camera. A pinhole camera with a built in memory and a remote activation. Had to search the neighborhood a few nights back because my neighbor caught someone on his land going through his stuff outside one evening. I grabbed my .45 and we pretty much chased whoever it was away. Thieves don't like guns or determined owners...

You can just disable the "power on" led and use motion detecting software to tell the cam to record. Most people with a computer in their house have a webcam, so seeing a webcam isn't really threatening to intruders/evildoers, but seeing that "power on" light is.
I also agree with kenbo0422, you don't need the lens housing except to focus, you can just pop that off, and it will work great and be less noticeable.
