WHAT IS A SPY PEN?

A spy pen looks just like an ordinary pen, except it can record sounds discretely. Some spy pens have a special pen camera that allows people to record video and audio. It's a fully functional ballpoint pen that you can keep in your jacket pocket. They have an ink cartridge, and most of them come with replacement ink cartridges. Ink cartridges and ink refills allow buyers to use them for their primary writing function at work and home without anyone knowing it's a recording device.
