The Cross Spy Camera is probably the cleverest spy camera that I have ever seen. This [video camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-camera) is disguised as a cross, which has to somehow be sacrilegious.

The Cross Spy Camera is the ultimate in covert [spy cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance). I would suspect a spy camera in a [flower on a lapel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-nano) or in a conveniently-placed stuffed animal, but on a cross? I am now going to think twice before I divulge info in a house of worship.
