Some trade show organizers don't allow you to take pictures on the floor, but Dvice has found a sneaky spycam that will help you get the shot along with some video. The Spy Pass Card micro camera looks like any other trade show or work badge except this one has a tiny hidden spy camera on one corner that can shoot both video and photos.

The camera is capable of capturing video at a low resolution (352 x 288), but photos capture even more detail at a 1280 x 1080 resolution, which is great for this type of device. It plugs to your computer via USB to transfer all your media, and is said to support AVI, JPG, and WAV files.

What's really amazing is that this small badge can actually hold 4GB of data, which is more than some bulky USB thumb drives out there are able to hold. The Spy Pass is available through Brando for $174 and includes a neckstrap or clip.

It's kind of scary, no? Now we have to worry about everything we say or do because you never know who's carrying a spy cam around.
