Spy Pen Blog Resource

We often get asked “what are the differences between the spy pen types”.

The answer really is how long is a piece of string.  As with all consumable electrical goods – there are improvements made on previous versions.  The spy pen is no different.  Early model spy pens were so appalling in their design and quality that they really failed to meet the expectations of the customer.  Faults included the button breaking, recording not being made, faulty lights on the back of the pen and even the ink nibs not writing.

Two years after release, they are a completely different beast.  Granted that there are models out there made to a low standard, but we do not buy or sell these.  The main differences in the pens is internally – the size of the memory and the resolution.  Frame rate is also a factor but even a low frame rate of 15 fps will capture the detail you need to trap a criminal when spying using the spy pen.

As with any camera – it is imperative that the user hold it still whilst taking either movies of photographs.  Moreso the case with a spy pen due to the typically used places they are used.  Take for example the situation where the spy pen is placed in the upper shirt pocket for making video recordings in a meeting.  The pen must be pointed in the correct direction for both sound and motion capture, and also it has to be kept as still as humanely possible in order to ensure that the detail is kept to a high quality.  This useful spy pen gadget is only as good as the user – and if you are going to record a meeting – then make sure you are sat still and not fidgiting around all the time – no matter how boring the meeting is.

Lets face it – most meetings are boring in the office space – but knowing that you are out to capture someone up to no good makes it all the more interesting and provides the extra incentive to sit still!!!

With the death of Amy Winehouse this weekend I was hardly in the mood for writing on a spy pen site.  RIP Amy - the best artist of the last 50 years in my book.

Hi,

We have installed this area for our customers to post comments and update us with the many uses of the spy pens, share ideas and post success stories where possible.
