The whole idea of a hidden camera is to hide it “in plain sight” as they say. The more obvious the object the better it is. They are simply board cameras (a fixed lens mounted on a circuit board) that are 1.25″ X 1.25″ inserted into the object you are using. Small eh? Not any more!

Those board cameras are still very effective for many applications. But now there is a new generation of hidden cameras using the latest in technology.

This technology is so cool! How about a pen that writes that is a working video camera? It has audio and a mini DVR and a thumb drive too. ALL IN A PEN!

A thumb drive is portable memory storage about the size of your thumb that fits into any USB port for transferring data from one device to another.

This super small covert spy tool acts like a DVR to record audio and video on flash memory (2 GB worth) for transfer whenever you wish. No drivers or outside power source is needed. It will charge plugged into the wall and when it is plugged into the computer.

Is a stylish working ball point pen with exchangeable standard ball-point refill which makes it perfect for “body worn applications.” It is perfect for business and personal uses.

It can record for a full two hours on a single charge. Recordings then can be later downloaded via high speed USB 2.0 to your PC for viewing and storing.

How hard is that?

It has a high sensitivity microphone that can recorder the audio clearly in the range of 15 feet. The camera is 2 million pixels.

This super pen hidden video is the newest surveillance tool in the market. It will charge plugged into the wall and when it is plugged into the computer.

A viewing Software CD is included in the gift box.
