When Might You Need A Spy Pen?

Marianne April 19, 2023

Nowadays, it is much easier to capture valuable video evidence, or record important conversations whilst on-the-go, without raising any suspicion, primarily because you can find a hidden camera or voice recorder in almost anything. Spy Equipment UK’s extensive range of recording devices are only becoming more popular as they continue to take a variety of covert forms, from flash drives and car keys to fitness watches and spy pens.

Spy pens are some of our best-selling hidden audio recorders, most likely due to their extremely discreet design and portability. Within this article, we are going to discuss the nature of these pens in more detail, to provide you with a better understanding of their many features and applications, so keep on reading to find out more.

What Is A Spy Pen?

In simple terms, a spy pen has the same appearance and functionality as an ordinary writing pen, but surpasses them with its built-in audio recording system, which allows the user to record important, surrounding conversations. As part of our body worn spy cameras range, Spy Equipment UK also offers a more advanced spy pen that has video recording capabilities alongside the voice recorder function. All of the spy pens have similar key features, for example:

Lightweight – all of our spy pens weigh between 18 and 36 grammes
Slim design – the pens’ dimensions are similar to a conventional pens, making them easy to carry
Superb microphone and recording capabilities
Silent in operation – our pens will not give any signal they are recording
Compatibility with Mac or Windows 2000 and higher
Short recharge time – the audio pens usually take a few hours to recharge, but have a strong battery life when in use
The video and audio pens have a shorter recording time, but an included add-on battery pack can extend this

How Do You Use A Spy Pen?

Spy pen voice recorders and spy pen cameras can be deployed in numerous settings – really anywhere that a pen wouldn’t look out of place. These hidden audio recorders can be placed in plain sight, and it is unlikely anyone would look twice at it. For example, many of our customers described how well they worked when attached to a shirt pocket whilst on-the-go, as they could pick up extremely clear voice recordings and front-facing video footage.

As most of our spy pens have useful recording control buttons or voice and motion activation capabilities, the user has a lot of flexibility in terms of when and where they start recording footage. Some of the most common situations we see at Spy Equipment UK, where our spy pens have been proven to be hugely valuable, are as follows:

In Meetings & Interviews

Spy pens are particularly useful in the workplace, for example when attending important meetings, individuals may want to ensure they are engaged throughout, instead of writing excessive notes. In this case, the spy pen can be used to record what is said during the meeting, which can then be transferred to a computer and listened to at another time. In a similar vein, business owners may want to use a spy pen to record an interview, so they can review what was said following the meeting when deciding whether to hire a candidate.

At School Or University

For those who struggle to keep up with a lecturer when at school or university, a spy pen could be the perfect solution. Instead of spending the whole lesson or lecture panicking you haven’t taken down the most important points, with a spy pen you can take part in discussion and engage more, knowing you will be able to listen back to what was said afterwards.

For Criminal Investigations

Lastly, we often see our spy pens being used to capture incriminating video or audio footage, for example of workplace harassment or bullying, as these cases aren’t usually taken further without solid evidence.
