Pen with a Hidden Camera

Are you as gadget prone as I am? Millions of people are. Do you remember when the first "James Bond" movies came out? I do, and I found them fascinating, at least, I found the gadgets James used in his pursuits, fascinating, especially his pen. Of course, it was all fiction, wasn't it?

Today, however, fiction is fact. We have, among our many available electrical gadgets today, a pen reminiscent of a "James Bond prop." This pen ranges in price from twenty five dollars to more than one hundred and forty or fifty dollars.

Being only a gadget hobbyist, I opted for one of the least expensive. The pen has a hidden camera and microphone in it, and you can't see either one. I use it to record conversations with friends, and it comes in very handy when someone denies they ever said "that," or never made such a "promise." All in fun, and they know, of course, that I do record our conversations. I especially love to record my children's conversations and playing that conversation back to them.

However, the more expensive spy pen cameras have much better resolution and picture quality and the sound is of higher quality than the cheap camera pens . If you are going to use a pen camera for professional uses, then these cameras would be a better choice for you. This pen is also used by law officials and called "the police model." So you know it has to do a good job.

You may want to use this pen in business, to record meetings and not miss a word being said. Take pictures of charts and graphs and transfer all this information into your computer, organize and file away. A very handy gadget, I'd say.
