The Spy Pen Camera

The spy pen video camera is the most versatile and widely used version of the many models of spy pens. It is normally used by private investigators and journalists but finds use in many other fields even the hands of then general public, you and me, for messing about and capturing pranks.

The reason spy pens are so popular is that they are able to act completely independently of most other devices. Everything it needs is contained within itself this allows it to remain completely wireless. A wireless spy pen camera can be kept discreetly in a pocket or handed to a colleague. No plugs or wires keep it well disguised and hence reliable.

You wouldn’t of thought your spy pen would have that many options but it can and some of the choices you have to make when picking a model can be very important. Specification can be very important when picking a camera. You will need to ensure that you camera contains at least a 640 x 480 resolution to make viewing detail in the footage a possibility and the images precise.

A 4gb spy pen camera will be sufficient to hold a good quantity of video recordings. The exact amount it will hold will depends greatly on the quality of the footage but you should be able to expect the spy pen camera to hold at least 4 hours worth. The battery on the device should expire well before the memory in a single use.

Spy PenMost spy pen cameras contain a USB stick located in the middle of the pen that allows the footage to be viewed. The exact type of connection the USB spy camera pen will vary but each device will normally come with the associated wires and adapters. This allows the spy pen to be connected to a pc, downloaded and viewed when it’s convenient to you.

It is likely that you model will be a digital spy pen camera; a spy pen recorder dvr camera will ensure that your footage is viewable right away without any specialist software or devices needed for play back.

I personally own multiple spy pen camera 4gb digital video recorder devices as I find this setup is ideal and offers great value for money. Upsizing or using other recording methods limits my options too much or I feel costs too much for the extra you get. You may disagree.
