I spent a short moment now looking around the office for the best spot a would-be creep could install a hidden camera. I realized two things:

- There ain't that many things with visible, people-facing screws these days.

- Even if you found one (e.g. a back of a LCD screen), you'd have to match the screw in size and color, or it would stick out.

I guess this method is best used when you control the entire object in which a screw-camera is to be embedded.

Somewhere on Amazon there is a screw camera that has a product photo of the camera installed on what appears to be a bathroom stall door. I can’t find it right now, but it totally blew me away that they’d be so blatant.
