The pen arrived very quickly.
It includes an interesting and inexpensive camera that takes both stills and video.
The instructions that came with it were written by someone who doesn't write English well, and I was unable to decipher them. However, the seller, when asked, quickly sent me these:
1. To switch between Photo and Video. Unscrew the pen in the middle to open the Spypen. In front of the USB connector is a switch. Move it to the Left for Photo mode or move it to the Right for Recording mode.
2. Photo Mode - Press the top button once to turn the Spypen on. Point the lens, (the red hole directly above the pen clip,) at your subject and press the top button once. Repeat as needed for more photos. Hold down the top button to turn off the Spypen.
3. Video Mode - Press the top button once to turn the Spypen on. Point the lens, (the red hole directly above the pen clip,) at your subject and press the top button once to begin recording. To end recording press top button again. Repeat as needed for more recordings. Hold down the top button to turn off the Spypen.
4. Viewing Photos and Recordings - Take included USB cable and attach to the Spypen and Computer. Open the Spypen Drive on the computer and you will see two files - Image & Video. These files contain your Photos & Recordings.
5. To Charge - Take the included USB cable and plug the Spypen into your computer for it to charge.
The instructions above are accurate, and the pen works great in both modes. The video includes an audio track, so the pen could be used just like a "wire" in a police drama.
And, you can write with it too!
This is a fun product at a reasonable price! I love it!
