I'd imagine that the fact that no one would actually want to bother putting this ugly thing on their wall kind of limits its utility.
Maybe if it were visually attractive, and sported less engrish...
That's brilliant! Where better to hide a camera than in an object so ugly you're compelled to avert your gaze?
The innate cheesiness of this makes sense if you're going to use it to monitor your own space when you're not there, as almost nobody would consider it worth stealing.
it Might not look like a camera at first glance, but if you google the oddly stilted phrase written on the bottom of the thing, the first page of results is full of the words "spy camera clock".
Plus it wouldn't look natural hanging up in most bathrooms, you disgusting pervs. :-D Seriously, this is almost as bad as those old "X-10 Camera" ads that showed a camera panning slowly over the body of a woman in lingerie, and had bullet points like
*Observe your driveway for intruders
*Impress your friends
*Protect your family!
And don't give me that nanny-cam line of BS. If you really want to protect your kid and property, make the camera obvious and DETER the unwanted activity. Otherwise it's just for the voyeuristic thrill.

You've all got it wrong. This is Flava Flav's new portable spy cam.
For those tired of overt surveillance...
The thing I've noticed about all these flash-based spycams is that they record at such a low resolution you probably won't be able to make out what you recorded anyway. You can get a handheld HD video camera for $150. Where's the HD teddy-bear-cam?
How covert can it be if it needs to use a flash? XD
All you're gonna see off this thing is video of your friends commenting on what shitty gifts you give.
Holy shizz! I'm being watched for the last 6 months!? Nooooo!
OMG, my dad has this exact clock in his living room. I'm pretty sure my grandmother gave it to him.
At least the camera is hidden in the "R" which is a reasonably sensible place.
I've seen spycams hidden in portraits, where the hole is where one of the subject's eyes is, a la Scooby Doo. A moment's thought reveals that this is by far the worst place to put the spy hole, as human gaze will naturally focus its attention on the eyes of the portrait, ready to spot the peculiar-looking hole there. It's about as bad as a big arrow pointing towards the hole with the legend "Don't look here!".
London Buses used to have "L" shaped advertisements on the sides which were affixed with a transparent perspex disc about three inches in diameter. The disc was clearly meant to be as unobtrusive as possible (and usually was) but for some bizarre reason, moron art directors frequently tried to get it coincide with an eye of a face portrayed on the advertisement, where it suddenly became much more prominent, and looked very weird, wrecking the effect of the ad.
Yikes, the local Chinese buffet I occasionally visit has one of these up by their cash register. I commented to my wife ages ago that it was one hideous clock. Now I know why it is there.
