what kind of image would it appear?

Without radionucleotides the gamma camera would not form any image. The way the machinery works is that the gamma camera works by accepting radiation in the form of positrons and gamma radiation. The body does not release a detectable amount of either radiation.

No. The human body does contain naturally occurring gamma emitting isotopes, such as potassium-40, but none of these isotopes are present in sufficient quantities to be detectable by a gamma camera.

Gamma Radiation reacts much the same way as X-rays. It takes more photons and higher energy to penetrate the body. If you have an image receptor and a beam of good enough quality you will see an image much like that of a X-ray

Why in the world do you need spy cameras for a babysitter WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN?!?!?!?! You make no sense at all. Some hiding places are in stuffed animals or behind pictures and/or mirrors.

The body does not emit gamma rays,the detector would see nothing.
