Camera means "room"
The first pinhole camera was made by someone who's name we do not know. Any room that has opaque walls and a relatively small opening on one side will exhibit the "pinhole camera" phenomenon. This was noticed in ancient times and commercialized in the renaissance.
Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham), a great authority on optics in the Middle Ages who lived around 1000AD, invented the first pinhole camera, (also called the Camera Obscura } and was able to explain why the images were upside down. The first casual reference to the optic laws that made pinhole cameras possible, was observed and noted by Aristotle around 330 BC, who questioned why the sun could make a circular image when it shined through a square hole.

The daguerreotype.
The first cameras were pinhole cameras. They worked by the light from the image on the outside enters through the pinhole and flips it on to the film on the inside and the film captures it.

A Pinhole camera.
I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.
