"Pinhole Lens" as applied to surveilance video cameras
does NOT mean what it does to us. It simply means that
the camera can be hidden behind a small hole -- it IS a
traditional glass lensed camera. As such it will make images
that are unlike "real" pinhole images. Some of the surveilance
video camera dealers sell a video camera with a "C" mount
to accept standard video camera lenses. One of those
would be a better candidate for conversion to a true pinhole
camera. (Most of these small video cameras have very
good low-light capability, so they should be able to work
with a real pinhole.)
