Tiny Voice Recorder

NEW – Exceptionally compact recorder, with numerous covert deployment possibilities and other features set the Tiny Voice Recorder apart from our other spy voice recorders, making it perfect for use where desired placement requires a device with small dimensions.

Light & Small Voice Recorder – Deploy In A Bag/Suitcase/Coat

At Spy Equipment UK, we have been regularly asked to provide a self-contained tiny recording solution with a view to deployment in a bag, a suitcase or maybe even an overcoat, with battery life not being necessarily the prime requirement. The result is a very slim and small voice recording device that is also very light in weight, to accommodate the surveillance requirements of our customers. After giving the internal lithium battery a charge, simply remove the magnet to start recording before deploying it into your chosen location.

Voice Activation Device – Large Storage Capacity

This tiny voice recorder is preset for voice activation as standard. This means that it will only record when there is noise in the environment in which it has been placed, which ensures you are not recording long periods of silence. Every time the device’s microphone picks up a sound, a recording will start, but then when there is no noise for at least a minute, recording will stop and the file will be saved on the memory. It should be noted that the operating system in this voice recording device of course cannot distinguish between a human voice, the sound from a TV, a car stereo or even road noise from a vehicle on the move. When it comes to recording memory, the Tiny Voice recorder has a superb 288 hour (8GB) recording memory (in HQ mode). So, with a storage capacity vastly exceeding battery life, there is less need to keep deleting previous recordings from the memory between deployments.

Time And Date – Adjustable Sensitivity And Quality

This voice recorder has a very sensitive microphone that can pick up sounds in a 10 metre (30ft) radius. When activated, it does not give any audible indication of secret recording taking place, so it is totally discreet in operation. Offloading audio recordings is very easy with this particular recording device. There is no special software required. Simply put the supplied magnet in place on the device to stop recording and then plug the unit into a computer using the supplied USB adaptor. The sound files can then be played back through the computer speakers, using the computer media player.

Each recorded file has a time and date reference, which means you will be able to identify when something actually occurred. In addition, through the included software on the device memory, it is now possible to alter the sensitivity to suit the ambient noise in the deployment environment and there is also an option to increase the quality of the recorded file, albeit the increase in quality will mean a reduction in memory storage capacity from 288 hours to 144 hours.

Versatile Audio Surveillance – Excellent Quality

If you are looking for a very compact short term listening device and recorder with excellent audio clarity, amazing microphone pickup range, time and date and adjustability to suit your needs, then the Tiny Voice Recorder maybe the perfect choice. It was initially designed to be placed in a bag, a case or a coat for secretly recording conversations within the vicinity, but it can be used in many circumstances where there is a need for a really compact device or where only short deployment times are needed between battery charges.

• To play back recordings a very basic understanding of general computer usage is required.
