Ballpoint Writing Pen Recording Camera; with Ultra 2K QHD Resolution

This body-worn ballpoint pen camera and surveillance recorder are cleverly concealed as an everyday writing instrument, surpassing comparable models in build quality and image clarity.  The pen can be carried with you or positioned in a holder when you leave the room.  It boasts a sleek design and a premium black satin metal finish that significantly outperforms conventional plastic alternatives.

The expertly integrated Ultra 2K camera lens sits behind a dark panel on the clip, distinguishing it from other pen-style recording devices that commonly utilise pinhole lenses.  The pen allows for natural handling whilst recording in any orientation to capture superior footage.

For evidential documentation, the included software seamlessly synchronises time and date settings from a Windows computer to the device.  No mobile app or wireless connectivity is necessary.

ULTRA 2K QHD VIDEO RECORDING

The pen features touch-activated recording with a 75-degree field-of-view and pin-sharp resolution settings: Full HD @ 1080P and Ultra 2K QHD @ 1440P—delivering exceptional results.  Engineered to the highest standards without visible recording indicators, it represents one of the finest recording solutions for gathering undercover footage.

IMPRESSIVE RECORDING TIME

Powered by an integrated rechargeable battery, the pen can record non-stop for approximately 60 minutes, or you can start/stop recording 'as needed' before requiring recharge.  Recordings are segmented into 5-minute intervals.

To review and retrieve video content, connect the pen to a Windows or Mac computer using the provided Type-C USB cable.  No specialist software or technical expertise is required, and all recordings are displayed in chronological order.

REMOVABLE SD CARD STORAGE

The pen accommodates SD cards up to 256 GB capacity, accessed internally without visible card slots.  A generous 64 GB SD card is supplied, and depending on the SD card's memory, it can store many hours of video footage, which can then be easily transferred to a computer when convenient.

OPTIONAL 10'000 mAh POWER BANK

For scenarios requiring extended operation without access to charging facilities, particularly during travel, the compact iSmart Power Bank presents an ideal solution.  This portable power bank can be stored in a vehicle's glove box or side pocket and connects externally to the pen (or other electronic devices, including mobile phones) to fully recharge it.

Featuring a robust 10,000 mAh capacity, this power bank provides sufficient charge for multiple complete recharges of the Ballpoint Writing Pen Camera Recorder.  The iSmart Power Bank is available separately via the drop-down menu.

This pen is a fantastic body worn camera that serves numerous practical uses for documenting anti-social behaviour, vandalism, and instances of animal or child mistreatment.  It is particularly suited for law enforcement personnel, private investigators, journalists, trading standards officers, mystery shoppers, or individuals requiring high-quality video footage for evidential purposes.

Note: A USB mains plug (not included) is required to charge the pen from a mains power source.  Alternatively, a genuine Apple USB mains plug is available for purchase from the menu above.  A mains plug isn't essential, as charging can be accomplished via a computer, though at a longer charging rate.

More Information

F.A.Q's

CAN I WRITE WITH THE BALLPOINT PEN?

Yes.  The pen's ink cartridge is shortened to accommodate the camera and recording mechanism, and two extra cartridges are supplied.  From an external point of view, the pen is smart-looking and can be taken out of your pocket to write anytime.

WHAT IF THE BALLPOINT PEN IS PICKED UP BY SOMEBODY?

To the untrained eye, it appears as a standard writing pen; however, it's advisable not to allow others to handle it physically to maintain its covert nature.  The pen has a camouflaged camera aperture behind a dark plate and will fly past people due to its neutral design and black satin colour.

IS IT EASY TO START AND STOP RECORDING?

Yes.  Only one button controls the recording start/stop, and a subtle LED will indicate the pen's status.  While recording, there is no visible LED, and you can be confident of stunning 2K QHD (2560 x 1440P) or Full HD (1920 x 1080P) resolution.  Video files are captured at 30 FPS (frames per second), with clear audio and a time-date stamp for evidential purposes.

WHAT ARE THE RECORDING TIMES?

A fully charged pen provides approximately 60 minutes of recording time.  The footage is segmented into 5-minute file lengths, and each file is time and date-stamped.  We offer an optional high-quality iSmart Power Bank, compact enough for travel or storage in a car glove compartment, to recharge the pen when travelling or away from mains power.

HOW DO I SET THE TIME AND DATE?

The pen comes with Windows software that swiftly synchronises the time and date from your computer to the device.

HOW DO I REVIEW THE RECORDED FOOTAGE?

Recordings are stored in MOV format on a removable SD card (64 GB supplied).  To access the footage, remove the SD card from the pen and insert it into a Windows or Mac computer.  Alternatively, you can connect the pen to a computer to access the card.  No specialised software is required for playback; your computer's standard Media Player will suffice.

CAN THE PEN RECORD IN DARKNESS?

No.  The camera requires some kind of artificial or natural light.  Better lighting conditions will result in brighter, more vivid footage.  Nevertheless, the pen performs admirably in low-light environments such as pubs and clubs.
