PEN WITH HD VIDEO
SKU: DV720P
THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE PEN WITH HD VIDEO
Please read this manual before operating the Pen with HD Video and
keep it handy.
Our line of covert pen DVRs are not just for spies. Psychological research
shows that students will forget 20% of their lectures within hours. This
doesn't just apply to students, but to people attending conferences,
business meetings, and presentations. Taking notes with this fully
functional pen will help you remember important highlights and pay
attention, and the hidden DVR will give your memory that extra boost by
allowing you to replay the high fidelity audio and video recording later in
the week.
This product records high definition 720P resolution video for 2 hours on
a full charge. This unit switches easily between photography mode and
live video mode, and starts and stops with a single touch. Files are stored
to the pen’s 4GB or 8GB of storage (depending on the model you
purchased) and are easily accessible by connecting to the PC using the
included USB cable.
Your purchase should include:
1 x HD Video Pen
1 x USB cable
1 x Instruction Booklet
