1. I'll take your money.
2. Since now perhaps?
3. If they can build a video camera into a cricket stump, which they  
do, and it survives a 95mph hit by a hard ball which fractures the  
wood....
4. It's clearly a very small, extreme wide angle lens - almost fisheye  
- hence the depth of field.
5. The quality isn't that good - superior surveillance grade.
6. Why would anyone bother to fake it? And if they did, why build in  
the faults of a micro-cam?
