 8gb DCX China Spy Pen Review (aka - Piece Of Junk Extreme) July 24, 2010
RichardStep (Houston, TX)
I finally got around to ordering a Spy Pen from (some other place). A DCX 8gb Spy Pen (USB, 640×480, rechargeable)... and man oh man is it the P.O.J. Extreme version. Of course, by P.O.J. I mean "Piece of Junk".
Let me see if I can detail some of the reasons why this Spy Pen is less than optimally awesome:
1. Unnecessarily large form factor (could have used a miniB USB connection)
2. The button on top is VERY conspicuous
3. The pocket clip / clasp broke off WAY too easily
4. The pen writing point would not retract completely (remained proud 2-3 [mm] in full retract setting)
5. (not covered in the video) The housing was shifted and covering roughly 33% of the camera lens, obstructing the view
6. The "status" LEDs are entirely too obvious, especially when on
7. The PCB access cap was entirely too hard to remove
8. The unit worked 3-4 times and then stopped as the SMT switch broke off the PCB
9. The video (from the `factory') already on the pen's memory leads me to believe there is no real company and associated Quality Control
10. The only visual evidence of video quality I have is about 40 seconds or so from the end of my spy pen review video there is a clip that the manufacturer took and left on the camera - check that out for a representative sample. I would say video quality is `decent' and `on par' with comparable low-budget 640×480 webcams.
I recommend avoiding this pen at all costs...

Of course this isn't a high end HD cam, it is a little pen you stick in you pocket. The three that we purchased for our Private Investigators office worked just fine. Yes, you have to read the instructions carefully, and follow them, but if you do you will be OK. We have used them in close surveillance and mid surveillance roles and for the price they are terrific. I think the camera is excellent for the price and the mic is good too. People still have not clued into the fact that you get way you pay for, almost everything cheap comes from China, and you need to pay attention to the instructions. The added bonus of these guys is that it can also be used as a USB memory device. That is a relatively good bargain for 4GB of USB memory taking into account what the primary fiunction is. If you unscrew it incorrectly you might think that it is poorly constructed, Other than that I do not know how it could have fallen apart on anyone who handled it correctly. We now live in a global economy, China is here to stay, and when you buy something like this for $45.00 that means that it only cost Amazon about $10.00. I have seen these advertised as high as $129.00. If you want something better, then pay for it.

I purchased the 4GB spy pen camcorder. It arrived as told. When tried to use it, I was not able to get it to work. Seemed to have an electrical issue. Pen did not work. Returned it for my money back.
