Swann Pen captures HD video

“It’s a stylish ballpoint pen one minute —  a high-tech spying device the next, allowing you to capture video and images with the push of a button!”

The “latest video surveillance gadget” from surveillance manufacturer Swann conceals a miniature high-def video camera inside a working pen. The pinhole video camera is “so small you almost can’t see that it’s there,” the company says.

(Of course nowadays, carrying a pen will make you stand out more than holding up a video camera or phone.)

The HD PenCam stores up to 8 hours of 720 HD video on a 16GB MicroSD card, or 72,000 still images; it’s $100. The similar PenCam 4GB features internal storage, for $70. Their rechargeable battery lasts 45 minutes.

Swann says it has been manufacturing pen cameras and covert video surveillance products for more than 12 years.
