I confess that I have a guest room in my apartment, and friends often spend the night. When some of the female ones shower in the morning, I can carefully record it by planting my phone. I've done it twice now and both times have been successful.

But I want to get better shots, and for that I need a better camera. A pen spy-cam, perhaps? Something with decent video quality. Audio would be nice, but is not entirely necessary.

Here's what I'll do. I'll look at whatever is suggested, and I'll buy one soon. Then, over the summer I'll post any wins I get as a thanks for the suggestions!

Sounds like a good idea, I have also done the same things. I found something that may work for you, 720p video http://www.zetronix.com/Spy-Camera-Store/c45/720p-HD-Spy-Nanny-Cam-Motion-Activated-Alarm-Clock(253)/product_info.html?osCsid=rmg80q09povteqnq89serlkt52

Looks very nice, a bit out of my price range currently (rent due at the end of the month and just started a new job) but I'll keep it in mind. Any cheaper options?

You know what I have done in the past and actually have set up right now is my second bedroom also seconds as my office, so I just have a webcam on that computer and either set it to record on motion or use a remote viewing/recording program. Don't know if putting a computer in there is an option for you, but if you use the right software, it's all but undetectable even if they decided to "snoop" on your computer. I've caught my niece, sister-in-law, good friend, and even my other friends sister that way! Just make sure the webcam has the ability to run without the light (or break the light) and you're good to go.

Other than that, you can build your own spycam easily. If you can't justify having a computer in the room and have access to a laptop, hide the laptop in a drawer and build a structure for the webcam that wouldn't be weird. Some suggestions could be a lego (if you have children), a box that is sitting there, a backpack or other type of bag, or a book (but be careful with that one, people love to pickup books!) etc.

If you absolutely cannot go with a computer in that room or don't want to trouble yourself with having to "hide" it, there are more options than the one posted above. A Pen camera or similar might work for you (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_review-rank?keywords=Pen+camera&qid=1398673438&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A502394%2Ck%3APen+camera&sort=review-rank) that first pen one at that link is pretty interesting and might work, if you don't need remote viewing.

And finally here is a search results I did on amazon for spy IP cams, basically they're viewable from (usually, read carefully) your iPhone/Android or your computer, but don't have built in recording (i.e. you'd need software/app to do that) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=spy%20ip%20cam

Hope this helps! Please let me know what you end up doing, I'm interested in buying a new one and would love to hear your thoughts after going through with it.

I can't purchase that one. It won't ship to the US, where I live. A good idea though. It has audio, and a long enough life to last for captures, then for me to retrieve it.
