If you cast invisibility, and the target resists, they can see you. Fine. But can they see that you have an invisibility illusion up?

Where I'm going with this is a thought I had when I read that the Object Resistance of cameras doesn't matter for invisibility. If I cast force 1 improved invisibility on myself, and withhold all but one casting die, the spell will be easily resisted by anyone watching at the time, but any camera or recording equipment won't see I'm there. So, in theory, I could cast this when going to a meet... the Johnson and the other teammates wouldn't notice anything, but if anyone was covertly spying on us, their recording wouldn't have me in it if they played it back later.

The only snag in this plan is if people can tell that I have the invisibility spell up. So can they tell?
