I am not making that up. The 'manufacturer' literally calls the camera a 'UFO'.
A "UFO" Form Factor Camera
From Seco-Alarm, UFO camera:
I am guessing the pinhole lens is to make it more covert though the form factor would likely give it away anyway.
Btw, They claim an F1.4 lens which I am very skeptical about for a pinhole lens.
Anyone interested in a UFO camera?

Seeing some from China here:
It says resolution 0.38 Megapixel. That's issue #1, as it is not MP or HD as the camera above is.
Also, skeptical in general, especially from a no-name source.
You said you were skeptical about f1.4 for a pinhole lens, I thought you meant as a general technical or theoretical limitation of those type lenses.
Though that lens would work, it sounds like it could be on the blurry side.
Then again, I'm having a hard time undestanding what a MP pinhole has that an SD doesn't.
I mean its just a hole, right?
Or is there a cheap piece of flat glass/plastic somewhere that you should remove to unlock mp? ;)
Axis Q9000 or one of the knockoffs?
I think you mean the Q6000-E and, I never thought about it, but I do agree it's rather UFO-like.
Part of the benefit of a clear/smoked dome is that determining where exactly is it aimed can be difficult if you're casing an area.
This UFO-'pinhole' camera seems to give that up right away.
They could at least paint the lens casing white:
Though maybe that would mess with the optics?
