Someone turned an IKEA lamp into a portable CCTV camera you can place anywhere
It even has a cute name.

Security cameras are great for protecting your home, but sometimes, you need a video feed for a specific area for a set amount of time. For instance, if you've set some food out to cool but don't want your cat to leap up on the counter and get a mouthful, there's now a solution: ripping out the innards of an IKEA lamp and stuffing a webcam inside.
