Spy Pen Recorder Guide
This article is designed to inform you of the differences between the different recording methods available on the range of spy pens and will demonstrate the limitations of these different devices. We will look at the digital spy recorder pen and other variants to show the difference in standards.
The Spy Pen Voice Recorder
This is one of the lesser used spy pen recorders, but offers a lot of uses and a high standard of recording. We have found two models of this type of pen on the market. The hold and record and the press and record, we find most of these devices are hold and record, press and record we find come as digital models.
These models are not very discreet; you have to hold the button down to begin recording and it stops as soon as you lift off. These are remarkably cheap however. They normally have a second button and the device contains a small speaker that plays it back to you. Generally these are just for messing about with and not such good quality for a higher quality version of this pen you will want to resort to a Spy Pen DIGITAL Voice Recorder.
These babies are normally press and record until you press again. You cannot play the track back where you stand; instead it’s loaded onto a DVR that is only accessible via a USB port on a pc. These recording are of a much higher quality but awfully inconvenient if you don’t have access to a pc. These generally however, find a more professional use and cost more so are not a plaything.
Spy Pen Video Recorder
Everything in I said about the different in quality and convenience can really be transferred to the video recorder. Video spy pens however, or at least to my knowledge have never contained playback devices in the pen. Nearly every model you find will be a spy pen digital video recorder. As it is the most convenient, and widely spread method to share video clips.
A Spy pen recorder DVR camera will often come with an accompanying DVR player. Like a pen to pc connection the DVR player will likely accept a USB drive. Many of these DVR players are no containing Bluetooth and other wireless technology to make it much easier to transfer the data.
The lesson really is, if your buying a spy pen recorder…. Go digital!
A mini spy pen is so good because parents get to see what their nanny is like when they believe nobody else is watching. Many parents use nanny cameras that are hidden because then they get to see what a nanny is like when they think no one is watching. However you camera doesnt have to be hidden but the advantages seem to big to ignore.
