VP-1 Voice Recording Pen Sample

Description

You need to record your conversations, and you don’t want a big, bulky recorder getting in the way, right? You could use a regular tape recorder or your cell phone, but there are a lot of problems with doing that. Either one of those could randomly make a noise, get an incoming call that interrupts it, or randomly shut down.

That’s exactly why you need the Voice Activated Recorder Pen. It has great audio, it works like an actual pen, and is a breeze to use - you'll have no problem using it, because it has a single switch to start/stop your recordings.

Put the pen in your pocket or just leave it out in plain sight. You’ll capture conversations taking place as far as 45 feet away from the pen, which a regular audio recorder or smartphone can’t do. The sound quality is superb - you’ll hear everything clearly.

The best part of this pen is the voice activated recording. If there’s no sound near the pen, it goes into a sleep mode. It'll only tapes when it hears sound, which saves you a ton of time from having to skip over tons of silence to find what you want. It’s also helpful because you don’t have to worry about turning it on right before talking - just leave it on all the time.

The 25-hour battery is recharged when you plug your pen into a computer. You also save power with the voice-activation feature, which means it’ll last longer before needing to recharge.

When connected to your computer with the included cable, you can also listen to your new audio recordings. Do whatever you want with the sound files - send them to someone, or just save it to your computer. The pen has 64GB of storage which is enough to hold up to 15,000 hours of audio.

How It Works

See the silver button on top of the pen? Press it down and it starts recording. Press it again, and your conversation is saved on the pen.

If you aren’t talking while the pen is on, it goes into a sleep mode to save battery life. The moment it hears new sound, it starts recording a new file. This is great because it won’t tape unwanted silence.

There’s a USB cable in the box so you can connect the pen to your computer. When you plug it in, a window opens that shows all the audio recordings you made. Play them with iTunes or your other media player, and then save them for the future or just delete it if you don’t want it.

What's In The Box
  • 16 Hour Voice Activated Recorder Pen
  • Controller and headphones for playback
  • USB cable
  • Ink refills
  • Instruction manual


Expert Advice

From the SpyGuy CEO:

I’ve used this product for the past 15 years, and it’s fantastic. It's been updated a number of times since it was debuted.

It’s extremely popular with our clients - love how easy it is to use and the clarity of the audio.

The voice activation feature also saves you a lot of trouble and battery life. If you need more than 16 hours of battery, check out the power bank voice recorder.

Can I cancel or modify my order after it has been placed?

You can always change your mind regarding your order!


You have total control of the order you placed by hitting our contact widget at the bottom right of every page. You can remove items, change addresses, or cancel the order entirely.


Our team processes orders quickly - if your order has already shipped, you’ll need to open a ticket in the chat widget so we can set up a return.

If you need to add items, or change the shipping speed, we can do it if the order hasn’t shipped yet. Otherwise, you’ll need to place a new order, and we can recall the original order.


How does the order show up on my credit card?

We know you’re trying to be discreet, so we’ve gone the extra mile to have credit card transactions listed under ‘SGE LLC’ on your statement and not ‘SpyGuy’.


Do you accept checks, money orders, or gift cards?

Shipping FAQ


What is the order cutoff time?

Orders placed Monday through Friday before 5:30pm Eastern/2:30pm Pacific are shipped out the same day.

Orders placed after this cutoff time are shipped the next business day.


How do I get free ground shipping?

Every order gets free and fast UPS ground shipping. Over 90% of our customers get their order within 4 days.


Do you offer 2-day or overnight delivery?

Absolutely, we have these options at checkout. You’ll just need to place your order before the 5:30pm Eastern cutoff time, otherwise it’ll be sent the next business day.

  • 2-day - $19.99
  • Overnight - $39.99

Where do you ship to?

We can ship to any address in the USA. This includes homes, apartments, businesses, and private mailboxes.

We can also deliver to PO and APO mailboxes, but cannot guarantee 2-day and overnight deliveries will get there on time as USPS doesn’t guarantee these services.

If you would like something shipped internationally, our clients outside the USA seem to like MyUS.com as a low-cost method of having packages forwarded.

Please be aware of any international tariffs you might be charged.


What shipping carriers do you use?

We use a combination of UPS and USPS for our free ground shipping options, and FedEx for our 2-day and overnight methods.

If you have a special carrier request or requirement, please get in touch with us via the contact widget and we’ll do our best to make it happen.





What does the package look like? Does it say SpyGuy?

All orders ship in discreet, plain, brown or white envelopes and boxes.

The shipping label doesn’t say SpyGuy, of course! It says ‘Fulfillment Center’ and has the return address of the fulfillment center. The package contents aren’t listed on the packaging.

If you do an online search for the fulfillment center’s address, it doesn't return anything related to SpyGuy.


I want this sent somewhere else, is that okay?

We understand some clients don’t want this sent to their home or business, and that’s fine. Just give us the full shipping address you want this sent.

Make sure you also add the billing address, which is tied to your credit card or other payment method, otherwise your payment might get refused.


How can I track my order once it has been shipped?

You’ll be emailed a tracking number as soon as your order has shipped.

If you lost it, open the contact widget to key in your email address and ZIP code, and you can see the details about your shipment.

You can also email us at help@spyguy.com and we can assist there.



Returns & Exchanges FAQ

What’s your return policy?

We have a risk-free, 100% money back guarantee that lasts 60 days after you receive your order. We’ll refund you the full amount with no questions asked.

This applies to all products in the audio, bug detector, GPS, and hidden camera categories.

The only products we don’t accept returns on are iOS and Android recovery software. Software is non-refundable, which is an industry standard.







How do I send back a return?

You can use our returns portal to start a new return and print off a shipping label.

Please, don’t send something back without talking to us or opening up a return request. 


Your package might get lost and we’re not able to help you if you do that.


How do I exchange products?

You can do a self-service exchange right in our exchanges portal here.


How long is the warranty?

All products come with a one year warranty that covers any manufacturer defects.


How do I return a defective product under warranty?

Please get in touch with us and we’ll happily process your warranty coverage and send you a new unit.


Are any items non-refundable?

The recovery sticks are software, and are not refundable. We’re happy to exchange them with another product, if you like.


Is there a return fee?

Products returned in new and unused condition have absolutely no fees - you’ll get the full 100% of your order credited back to you.

In extreme cases, customers have sent us clearly damaged products, damaged or missing accessories, and boxes. For example, the products smell like cigarettes, or they return a product that isn’t even what they bought from us.

In these extremely rare instances, a damages fee of up to 40% of the product cost will be applied. We’re reasonable here, and we hope you’re reasonable, too.

60-Day Money Back Guarantee


We offer a 60-day, money back guarantee on most of our items. Should you want to return or exchange your order, simply get in touch with us within 30-days of ordering and we’ll begin the return process. A list of items that are exempt can be found at the bottom of this page.


Contact Us First

Please, do not send us anything without first contacting us! It’s very difficult on our customer care team when we get packages that we’re not expecting. They usually have no name, order number, or reason for return. 

We’re not mind readers, unfortunately, so please get in touch with us first!

Make sure that when you send us a return you include everything that was sent to you, including packaging and accessories. They also need to be in original condition. Once your return is received, we’ll issue a full credit on your card. If it’s an exchange, we’ll ship out the replacement product.

If you return your product without first contacting us and getting an RMA, or your return does not meet the conditions above, a 25% fee will be deducted from your refund.



Items That Aren’t Refundable:


Some of our items aren’t refundable. The reason is unfortunate - we've had customers out there who buy from us to quickly to get the answers they want, and then return the items to get a refund. The product, it solved their problem, and now they don’t want it anymore. 

It's an underhanded tactic that’s difficult to fight, and we can’t stay in business by being a rental company. Because of this, we aren’t able to offer refunds on the following products:

• Software
• Nanny cameras
