Answers.Body: <p>If quality of video is not so important to you, then you can use effect, which is used on public transport windows:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/iknr9.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/iknr9.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>It is when you use lot of dots on the glass. From the outside it looks like semitransparent image. But from inside it will look like that:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/9CEzx.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/9CEzx.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>With correct focus dots will be less visible on video.</p>
  
  <p>And second option is to use half-silvered mirror.</p>

Comments.Text: If the camera can see you, you can see the camera (except possibly through a half-silvered mirror). All you can do is disguise it, for example "teddy-bear cams". How big is the lens opening? What are the surroundings? How is the scene lit? More details will help.
