This really needs to have a motion detecting camera, to take pictures while you're away. Also, some sort of connection to your computer would be genius.
The maker is probably saving that for the upgraded version.
That's not the "the spare lens shield that came with his camera". It's the lens hood that should always be on the lens when it's in use to prevent stray light from entering the lens.
This idea may actually work better on a point and click camera. Cell phone cams would also work well for this lens setup. Both have shorter lens length and much smaller outer lenses.
how about making a reverse peephole attachment so you can take photos of the inside of people's homes?

Using this technique, you can pretty much fix any sort of lens, filter etc to your camera. Why not bust open a few of those dollar store prismatic toys. You know the ones that give a fly's view or kaleidoscope view.
Given the extremely low-res and cheesy image quality you get, I'd say your describing it, Dan, as a "hotel door" lens is a much more accurate name. I mean, look at how very little of the camera's image sensor is used to capture the pic:
@Lite: is on a boat.: Wait. What just happened? I'm sitting here in a Castro cafe and suddenly every guy around me is on his cell phone making ophthalmology appointments.

Too bad that surgery requires them to go in through the rectum to fix.
