A Spy Camera is one designed to be hidden, so as to be used covertly, for spying. Such cameras may be disguised as something else - such as a packet of cigarettes or a handbag.
The term is often, more loosely, used for any subminiature camera.
A similar term is 'detective camera', which was a common description of cameras of various designs in the very late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of these were not concealed cameras, but less conspicuous than a conventional field camera (in particular, they are usually hand-held).
