Everybody has thought about using a spy pen.  As a child, almost everybody loved watching a good spy movie. From James Bond to Inspector Gadget, people have always enjoyed watching secret agents and their toys. Catching a bad guy was even cooler when it was done with spy tools like hidden spy cameras and voice recorders. Now anyone can catch a criminal with a spy pen that has many of the same features.

It is absolutely amazing to see what kind of features can be packed into little spy pens. From video to voice recording, almost anything can be caught on tape. The great thing is that they look just like any normal pen, so nobody will ever suspect a thing. Some even write just like a normal pen to make them even more unnoticeable.

For the sleuth trying to get visual proof of an event, a spy pen camera is probably the most discreet way to go. A hidden camera can be difficult to actually hide and it requires getting into the environment ahead of time. A spy pen video camera can be worn right on the body of the spy or simply placed on a table and will barely be noticeable.

Spy Camera Specialists make a 4GB spy pen for only $129.00. This spy camera records audio as well as video and can record up to just over an hour. Additional features include an audio only mode and a time stamp that can be turned on and off. At such a low price, anyone can afford to own a spy pen recorder for all of their undercover needs.

One of the great things about these spy pen cameras is that they are very user friendly. The memory is built in so there is no need to fuss with memory cards and they are easy to use with one-click recording. They can be used by anyone since they are compatible with both Mac and PC computers.

Sometimes a detective may only need to record audio and will not be concerned with video. In those cases, they could try an audio pen recorder. The Covert Digital Voice Recorder Pen is packed with tons of features and looks exactly like a real pen. Nobody would ever have reason to suspect that it is actually a recording pen.

The Covert Digital Voice Recorder pen not only records audio, but it can also store computer files and MPS3s. When the pen comes apart, one half is actually a USB, so it is incredibly easy to transfer files from the pen to a PC computer. The best part is, it even writes like a normal ballpoint pen so there is no reason for anyone to think that it is not what it appears to be.

In addition to the basic spy pens on the market, Spy Gadgets makes a pen that records video in full color. The smart design on this phone has the camera placed a quarter of an inch below the top of the pen on the same side as the clip. This way, when the pen is clipped to a shirt pocket, the camera lens is facing out and is above the pocket.

The spy that needs to be extra sneaky should consider the Memo-Q Pen Recording Device. This pen is actually the world’s smallest seven-hour digital voice recording pen. Like other spy pens of its kind, it is discreetly turned on and off simply by clicking the top of the pen. Its ultra slim design and extra sensitive microphone make it one of the best spy products on the market.

If an area needs to be recorded over a period of time and the detective will not be there throuhout, a spy pen camcorder may not be the best choice. In these cases, a wireless spy camera might be just the thing. These are usually used for surveillance and would be perfect for someone who wants to monitor what is going on at home while they are out of town.

Spy Gadgets makes a mini spy camera that measures only 3.3” X 3.1” X 1”.  Up to four cameras can record on one receiver and they can be viewed in switching or quad mode. The video can be recorded right onto any PC and will be stored on the hard drive. For those who do not want to view their videos on the computer, it is also compatible with a regular TV and VCR.

In addition to the spy pens, there are a lot of products on the market that can enhance the spy experience and lead to even more success. If a pen does not work in a given situation for some reason, there are definitely other options. Voice and video recorders can be hidden in almost anything, so a good spy can be prepared regardless of the situation.

Voice recorders are a useful tool for spies, no matter what format they come in. If a pen is not your style, maybe a digital voice recording watch will do the trick. There are voice recording watches on the market that can record up to nine hours of digital audio. Those who do not like to wear a watch can get the same effect with a voice recording flash drive that can just get plugged into the computer to pick up everything.

Another neat item from Spy Gadgets for audio recording is the Bionic Ear. This tool goes right around the ear and can amplify sounds by up to 40 decibels. Users can focus the sound in any direction they choose and record it using an output jack. In addition, it can pinpoint noises and fade out background noise.

For the spy who resists the pen because they want their gadgets to be more like those used by James Bond, there is the Zippo Style Digital Lighter Camera. It records color video and audio and can be played back on either a computer or a cell phone. This lighter functions as a normal lighter, but it is also capable of recording up to two hours of video.

Whether trying to protect a home, catch a crook or simply play super spy, a spy pen is a great tool to have on hand. It can even be used by business people or students to record meetings and class lectures so that they can be played back later. The sleek designs and user friendly features make these pens not only functional but fun to use.
