Some camera obscura have lenses to permit larger apertures and therefore brighter images. The use of film (or digital media), therefore, may be a more reliable way to dsitinguish between a camera and a camera obscura. Better yet, I suggest, if one can walk into it, I would describe it as a camera obscura.
