Spy Camcorder/Screen Off?

Hey guys, I have a sneaking suspicion my roommate in messing with my things while I'm away. I was hoping someone could tell me how to use my phones (HTC EVO) camcorder (not still pics if I can help it, but they will do) to use as a security device.

I don't care if it's motion activated or not, I'd just as well leaving it running for a half hour or so. I would just turn on the camcorder and walk away, but whenever I press the power button to turn off the screen the camera stops recording.

I need the screen off if at all possible.

I found a free app called "motion detector pro" that will send images to my email or another phone but so far it seems wonky and it only supports still images, not video. I don't think it works once I power the screen off either.

Any solutions?

Keep the screen from locking and closing programs as a result (also 4.5 stars and FREE)

I use KeepScreen for my apps that run when I'm driving.


Thank you so much.

Not to sound like an idiot though (-tires to hide stupidity under the sheets-) Could you tell me the quickest setting to get my goal. I'm very new to Andriod and this all seems so confusing.
