Digital Voice Recorder Pro

This versatile and powerful digital audio recorder is the perfect device for a range of different situations. It has a large memory capacity large sound pick up radius of over 8 metres and an incredible operational standby time. Easy to set up to suit your needs and simple to use, this product is ideal carry around recording solution.

Super Voice Activated Recording

It comes as no surprise that a digital audio recorder of this quality would have the option of sound activation recording, but this model features SVOS (Super Voice Operated System). Switching into this mode is very simple because there is a small slider switch on the side of the device. After switch on, when this switch is activated the recorder LCD readout display will go blank and voice activated recording will start immediately. Obviously with no digital readout on the LCD screen the recorder would appear as though it was an off or sleep mode rather than recording mode. Each separate recording period is saved as another file (up to a maximum of 999 per folder – 4 folders). This means that in voice activated recording mode a new file is created for each period that sound is heard although there is an overrun of 60 seconds so that if there is a small break in speech or sound around the device, then the memory will not create a separate file just because of a short interlude.

Incredible Battery Life

In SVOS mode the digital audio recorder is extremely smart in the way that it conserves battery life. No other recorder available can match its amazing performance in this respect. Using a fresh pair of AAA batteries (2 are supplied), the recorder remain operationally active for up to 110 days! Of course, the more sound that is made in the area where it is deployed then the less ‘standby’ time the recorder will have, so the 110 day time will diminish a little more each time a sound activated recording is made. At the point that the battery expires, if the recording is taking place, the file will still be saved before the system shuts off completely.

Large Memory Capacity – Password Protected

The unit has an inbuilt 4GB flash memory that will provide ample storage for recorded audio files. Although the device can be set to record CD quality audio, this really isn’t necessary for most scenarios so there are three longer recording capacity settings. In LP mode, the memory can store up to 260 hours of recorded audio (this equates to 8 hours every day for 32.5 days). To keep the recordings safe from unwanted listeners the recorder has a password set to prevent playback and PC connection.

Sensitive Microphone – Sound Filtering

The Recorder Pro has an extremely sensitive built in microphone that has the ability to react to sounds (normal speech level) within a radius of easily 8 metres. The unit’s sophisticated noise filtering technology is designed to remove low band noise and emphasise voice band sounds. What this means is background noise is filtered out to a certain extent making speech content more prominent and this feature is also assisted by automatic recording level control and playback speed control guaranteeing the best quality files and audio playback possible.

Windows, Mac and Linux Compatible

The Recorder Pro uses all the common MP3, WAV and WMA playback sound file formats which ensure excellent compatibility with most media players. The system is flexible enough to work with all modern Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and the device is provided together with USB cable for offloading and playback files onto the computer. There are a small inbuilt speaker and a set of earphones for playback preference and as standard, an external wired microphone is supplied. As options Spy Equipment UK can supply a slicker external microphone with a 1-metre cable and also a quality UK USB to Mains adapter if required.

How long will the device record for when not in voice activation?

The device will operate for up to 24 hours when deployed with the 2 x AAA batteries provided. There are additional extras available that extend the operation time, such as the mains power plug.

Is the device silent in operation?

Yes, the device is digital and there are no moving parts or sound alerts that would alert attention.

Do the recordings have a time and date stamp?

The recordings do have a time date reference for each recorded file, so in voice activation mode each file will have a separate time reference. Time/date setting can only be done on a Windows computer.

Will the recorder still record if it is hidden away from view?

Yes, the recorder will still pick up sounds from the environment, although if it is heavily buried out of site, the microphone effectiveness may be reduced. We can supply an external covert wired microphone that allows the recorder to be completely hidden from view.

How can the recordings be played back?

Recordings can be played back through supplied earphones, the inbuilt speaker or through computer speakers after connection to a computer (Windows or Mac.

Can I use this as a telephone recorder?

We do not supply a UK telephone connector with this product, but actually do a another product that includes this recorder and the correct type of UK telephone recording lead.

Can I use lithium Ion AAA batteries in this recorder?

Yes, these will work fine in the recorder and will extend usage time considerably. Rechargeable AAA batteries are also fine to use.
