Whilst the Spy Pen may look to the untrained eye like a simple (if stylish) pen, we happen to know that it has some pretty amazing secrets tucked away where you’re least expecting them. But rest assured that it still functions wonderfully as a pen, with a smooth ballpoint nib and comfortably shaped barrel.
The really cool part about this pen is that it features a super tiny camera and microphone built into the barrel. It will record video with audio at 640 x 480 resolution or 1.3MP stills depending on what mode you have it set to – just click the little button on the top once to start recording and again to stop in video mode, or just a single click to take a photo in camera mode!
Once you’ve finished gathering evidence (we’ve found that clipping the pen in a shirt pocket works rather well) just unscrew the barrel and pop it in a USB port in your PC to transfer over the footage and recharge the battery – which will give you around 90 minutes of recording.
Perfect for all those stealthy office reconnaissance missions you so often need to go on, the Spy Pen is an essential addition to any spy’s arsenal of tools.
