When it comes to getting the truth, many individuals breakout the spy gear. When it comes to catching a cheating spouse, another liar in the family, or ongoing burglaries, video is important, but don’t discount the words said. Sometimes, those words are just as important as action, especially if there is none. A good instance would be a cheating spouse who uses his cell phone to talk to the mistress at home.
Since words are important, you may wonder what your options are. What spy gadgets can help you listen to someone or record their voice?
Spy pens with built-in voice recorders. These devices usually activate with the click of a switch. Before buying, first read reviews online. Some spy pens with built-in recorders have great recording capabilities, but others pickup too much background nose. Also, opt for pens that are designed for spying, not convenience. You want a spy pen that does more than record 60 seconds of sound. It is best to purchase pens with hard drives and USB cords. These types of pens usually allow up to 20 hours or more of recording.
Spy pens are the perfect way to listen to any type of conversation. We all use them at home, in the car, at the office, or carry them in our pockets. For that reason, they will never seem out of place.
Digital room recorders. These spy gadgets come in a number of different formats. Most are small in size. They can also be built into to just about any item, including an alarm clock.

These digital room recorders are also ideal for listening to any type of conversation. Their relatively small size means you can carry them in a pocketbook or pocket. They can be hidden in just about any room or car.
MP3 Players with built in voice recorders. Although not classified as a spy gadget, this device does the trick and it does so without easily being spotted. Do you enjoy listening to music? If so, having an MP3 player attached at your hip or just lying around won’t arouse suspicion. The key is to get an MP3 player with a built-in recorder and large storage space. You can record, upload the file to your computer, or listen right from the player.
An MP3 player is ideal for listening in on any type of conversation. Unfortunately, you do need to activate the recorder. You can so by turning the device on and then hiding it in a room or car. You are also at an advantage because you have the element of surprise. Put on the headphones and pretend to dance or sing along, but really activate the voice recorder. The person you are spying on may start talking with you right beside them, not knowing you are listening, let alone recording.
Baby monitors. Although not necessarily considered a spy gadget, this helpful tool for new parents can be used as one. They are designed to allow parents to hear a baby in another room, like at night. You can also use them to listen to conversations in your home. Most standard monitors come with two devices, one that pickups sound and one that you can listen with. For more money, you can get multiple monitors that pickup sounds and transmits to the main base.
Baby monitors are ideal for listening to conversations in your home. Their listening distances varies, but they are designed for in-home use. Most give owners the option to use batteries or power cords. Opt for the batteries; it makes these devices easier to hide. Turn your device on only when you need to listen, but keep the monitor picking up sounds on at all times.
As you can see, there are many ways to listen in on conversations. Whether you want to know what your teenager is up to with his or her friends or if you suspect your spouse is cheating, a voice recorder can help you get the proof you need.
