Look at ....


VIVOTEK’s FD816CA-HF2

or

Hikvision DS-2CD2E20F


Once installed they are very small

You could always do a pinhole camera.  They only measure about 1 in square.  We used to put them in smoke detectors when I worked at walmart back in college.  We'd put them in back stockrooms and catch employees stealing.

This is what we used.  I'm sure there are better ones, but it did the job.

wireless - no personal experience with these.

Raspberry Pi Zero W with the add on camera. I've loaded one with free webcam software and connected it to blueiris. It also has standalone motion detection capability.

Extension cables are available to allow you to put the camera out farther. I'm thinking about building one into a wall clock face.

I went with these - https://www.arecontvision.com/product/MicroDome/AV5455DN-F-NL#Downloads

true 5MP imager and they are tiny at 4" (total across the bezel). The dome is only 2".
