Anyone know how to turn a laptop into a surveillance camera, in a way that doesn't make it obvious to people entering your room that it's recording?

Windows 8 comes with the camera app, which is great, but it turns off when the screen locks. So I guess my alternate question is does anyone know a way around this, so that the screen can be locked, but the camera can still record?

Anyone?! /g/. I don't know if there's a more suitable group of people, on 4chan, to ask.

Why not set it so the screen never locks?

That's an option, but how do I make it so it's not obvious to people the camera is recording? I can't get it to run in the background. Switching tabs automatically leads the video to stop.

Install a form of GNU/Linux
Run camera
Run
xset dpms force off

There you go. Your computer is now recording with the screen off.

if it's a laptop it should have a key to just turn the monitor black without locking it.
