A, what you are proposing to do is probably [1] very close to being
illegal (before TV companies use secret cameras they clear it with
their legal depts.), any evidence gained might not be admissible in
any form in legal, disciplinary and other proceedings whilst it could
lead to a claim against you. You will also need to spend more than
you will be able to afford I suspect - the pin hole camera that you
need can be bought cheaply BUT you then need a small portable video
recorder and this will set you back around a 1000 USD / GBP.

If you really want to make a secret recording, and as you say that
the consultations are non physical why wont a simple audio recording
do?

[1] you don't say which jurisdiction you are in, the US, UK or
Timbuktu...
