Are we being listened to? Here are some things to know about recording devices.

1. Audio Quality

The first thing to know about recording devices is that they vary in audio quality. If you yourself are intending on recording somebody or something, we recommend you choose the highest quality device that you can find. The reason for this, quite simply, is that while many audio devices may seem similar, the quality differs vastly, and a poor quality audio recorder will not be able to hold a candle up to a high-quality one. From country to country, state to state, quality varies. You might not find the same quality in Germany as you may in Australia, but with that said, find a local Australian hidden camera store, or a German one, or one wherever you are, and browse their options. Audio quality is, without a doubt, the most important factor to consider when buying recording devices.

2. Convenience

When you are using an audio recording device, you will need to ensure that it is a convenient device to carry around. Many audio devices can be very big, bulky, and quite inappropriate for the task at hand. Because of this, we recommend that you find the most convenient one for you – one that can slip in your pocket and be used for virtually any situation. Anything that is too obvious risks jeopardizing whatever your objective is. Try not to draw attention to you or your device – pick something that smoothly fits into your pocket.

3. Memory Space

Memory space is another very important factor to take into consideration when you are buying yourself a recording device. If you are using the recording device for any covert recording, whatever that may be, you do not want to find out, at the last minute, that you do not have enough space. Always ensure you buy a device with ample recording space, as well as a device that offers you hours of recording time, and finally, always bring a spare memory card along with you!

4. File Sharing

In the 21st-century, file sharing is fundamentally important. Whether you want to share a file with a colleague, a client, or just transfer data to another device, you will need a recording device with file-sharing capabilities. File sharing is very important and you mustn’t waste your money on a device that does not offer you quick and seamless file sharing. Try to find a device that you can hook up on Bluetooth and make instant transfers with.

5. Editing

Many recording devices now offer editing capabilities along with the main device. Editing your recordings is also very important. There are a number of reasons why you may want to edit a recording and a number of reasons why you may not… Regardless of whether you need to or don’t, be sure to only buy a device with editing options, so that you give yourself the option to edit anything should you need to. You never know when you may need to trim down a recording and omit information.

6. Voice Activation

Quite a few of the devices currently on the market offer voice activation. We recommend that you choose a device that gives you the ability to voice-activate. The reason for this is that, quite simply, it enables you to make covert recordings without having to reach into your pocket and turn your device on. With one word, a codeword, you will be able to activate and have your device recording. Voice activation is a great function that you should seek out when you are buying a recording device, so definitely do not overlook this feature when you are shopping for a device.
Now, from this page, you can probably see quite how covert recording devices can be, and you are probably asking yourself, ‘Have I ever been listened to before?’ The truth is that you will probably never know! Thanks for reading, folks.
