Comment on is the banana for scale?

Probably not, though. The camera is head on, and the painted surface is from the angle of the camera...
Even in your video, the painted surface is clearly visible from the outside even on camera, whereas the unpainted side doesn't show the paint - logically.
But in our case the key effect is that we're looking at the PAINTED side, yet don't see the paint itself. Which is primarily because of the IR effect I described - the pigment in the paint reflects the visible range of light (so the paint is visible), but not IR, therefore the IR camera in the doorbell "sees through" the paint.
