Hello,
I'm trying to make a small camera fit into a stopper, And i want the camera to take a picture/video doesn't matter when i click the button, and stop when i click a different button, The purpose of this is something very important and i don't want to get caught, I can't use anything but a stopper for this project, so watches and pens and other stuff wouldn't work for me, How can i make the whole system fit into a stopper and make custom buttons for it?

Are you talking about a drain stopper, door stopper, (floor/wall) or what exactly? 😎
You trying to get some pics of Aunt Helen in the shower OP? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

pinhole camera. $4 DIY, or $20ish to buy premade. 1080p 60FPS. can implement remote or buy one with wifi/remote for $20.

It's like a a race timer, It's with two buttons one which starts and the other stops, I'm trying to know how can i power the camera and make a small hole in the timer for it

Ok. Just the OP had a creepy voyeur vibe. You even got one predator to reply. 👍 🤣 You have a few options. We can't accurately help as we don't know the dimensions, disk space needed, or your budget etc.
Below is an Rpi Zero Wireless with the official Rpi camera. Note, normal USB cameras produce poor FPS w/ Pi. (~$30 @ Microcenter) Mind you recoding video requires a lot of storage space. You can record video locally on the Rpi with a large SD/flashdrive/HDD. Alternatively, you can stream the feed over 802.11 and record it on another desktop or a smart phone. You can power it using a battery.
The great thing about using an Rpi is you can customize it and make it compliment your application. You can integrate triggers into existing switches by soldering to the timer. Read about "pullups," this method of a making button provides a stable signal. Otherwise, it will not be accurate. Or you can add cheap sensors to make the whole process of recording automated. Given the GPIO I/O, you may use something like IR emitter/reflection sensors and an I2C ADC to detect when a when a car is placed down and passing the finish line. Or even simple metal gates the cars hit as they finish completing a circuit. This will provide you a time frame of recording and save you disk space. Doing so would also help with organization as you may separate races using time as the filename.
There are other options for tiny camera. But without ALL of the details, it is hard to recommend anything.
Op, do you mean stopwatch? Sounds like a stopwatch to me.
