Why the VR-530
This is the voice activated recorder that combines a password lock, a magnet, and a long-lasting charge in a compact body. That mix is what sets it apart from our other voice activated recorders.
- A password lock, so only you can open the files if the recorder is lost
- A built-in magnet for a desk frame, a filing cabinet or a car seat frame
- Up to 120 days per charge in a body that is 2.95 inches long and 1.4 oz
- USB-C charging, scheduled recording and five sensitivity levels
Voice activation pauses the VR-530 during silence and starts recording again as soon as speech begins. One charge can last for months, and you never have to scroll through hours of quiet. Five sensitivity levels let you tune it for a quiet office or a busy room.
At 2.95 inches long and 1.4 oz, it fits in a pocket, a bag or a glovebox, and the magnet keeps it in place in the car or at your desk. Plug it into any computer, phone or tablet and the recordings show up like files on a flash drive, ready to play or save.
Recharge with any computer, phone, wall or car charger. You can add a wall or car charger in your cart.
Always follow your local recording and consent laws.
