TileRec - Slimmest Voice Activated Recorder with 145 Hours Recording Capacity, MP3 Records, 30 Hours Battery Time, Metal Case – by Atto Digital

I had a problem with the unit I received and the customer service department went out of its way to resolve the issue.

Where I live in MA, it's illegal to use this without informed consent of everyone in listening range. Other states haven't such laws. This device is good for the price and legal if you get consent from each participant during the recording. If you use it without consent - consult with a lawyer before even admitting you have the recording. There are felony penalties for secretly recorded material.

I bought this mini recorder to protect myself from verbal and psychological abuse by a lover. It was important for me that the recorder be voice activated to minimize the hours of recorded audio I have to scrub through to find the relevant bits. It was also important that it be discreet, which this is.I purchased it less than a month ago, and it was a life saver last night. A neighbor pulled a knife on me, put it up to my throat and threatened to ki11 me. The recorder was inside my house, but was able to record audio from my porch, which was about 25-30 feet away. My lover DENIED it happened -- when she was standing 10 ft away, but out of line-of-sight, and used gaslighting tactics to discredit my story. "That's not what happened -- no they didn't" she said. She never even told the 911 operator what happened to me -- she said "a guy and girl are fighting you need to send the cops here now!" I'm gonna spare you the rest of the drama, but her behavior was inappropriate and manipulative, especially during an emergency. I have evidence to prove what happened was true. (The assailant did get charged in this case.)People act different once you have a camera filming them, so you have to be discreet if you want to catch abusive people in the act. Verbal and emotional abuse is hard to prove because 99% of the time it's "he said, she said." This is the device you are looking for if you are in a situation like mine.I did have a problem getting it to connect to the PC at first -- turns out the random USB cable I used was broken, so just use the USB cable that's included. One feature I'd like to see would be the ability to charge while recording, so it can be running 24/7. I have now decided to carry it with me as much as I can -- I clipped it onto my necklace and keep it tucked into my shirt. This is a great product and I can't reccomend it enough.

I really like the size and quality of sound. almost from the start my computer kept telling me there was something wrong with the drive. Computer couldn't fix it. after about two weeks of use it took a long time to delete a file then when plugging it back in the files I deleted came back. There isn't much for trouble shooting except to press the reset button for 10 seconds. this does nothing to fix it. when it was working properly it was great. however now it is slow to load now and wont delete files, they keep coming back. I haven't contacted them yet but will. great product if it works...

It's useless to buy it

Discreate and quality is solid. Perfect size fore business, when you have to keep records of a conversation. If they don't know....they don't know.

I need something discreet to document my neighbor's barking dog. She claims I am "exaggerating" the situation, her other neighbor is legitimately deaf, so it's my word against hers to the HOA board. I hope proof will be forthcoming, ma'am. (I am an animal lover and have 2 well trained dogs, so don't judge me for not wanting to be awakened before dawn by a yapping demon.)My only real complaint is that I am unable to get the date/time setting to work. It reverts to a 2019 date/time every time. This makes it difficult to prove that it was actually 5:13 a.m. when the dog started barking outside my bedroom window. I am an experienced computer user, so am well acquainted with creating/saving text files.Other than the date/time complaint, I think this could be an excellent product. It is easy to conceal - I use a small piece of adhesive Velcro to attach it to the trunk of a silk tree on my covered patio. It is invisible to anyone who doesn't know it's there. The voice activated sound setting works well. It came on a couple of times during the night and clearly recorded cars/sirens. Early morning, there was even a bird singing in addition to the beastly dog. Recordings are clear, it picks up outdoor "white noise" as I would expect, but the birds, dog, and other prevalent sounds are very clear and easy to identify. Connecting to laptop computer to access files is very straightforward and easy. I wouldn't record my next album with it, but that is not the intended purpose of this recorder.If I can't get the date/time to work properly, I will be returning it since I need to prove when the events happen. Otherwise, it does a good job at what it is designed to do.UPDATE EDIT: I got date/time function to work. If I only edited/saved the existing time.txt file with the correct date and time it did not work. If I deleted or renamed the existing file and created a NEW time.txt file it works like a charm! Follow the instructions for entering the info, but be sure to create a new file. I gave it another star!

The only thing I don’t like is that I didn’t get it sooner.You have 2 options, you can set it to voice activated recording or continuous recording and both work amazingly great!! Even with noise in the background, you will clearly hear every word.

Discreet, simply and easy to use. Also very good, study construction.

I have a bad memory and I don't want to fiddle with my phone for a voice recording.. With this little guy, I just flip a switch and I'm up and running. I use it for lectures, voice memos, etc.. I keep it on me at all times, its that handy.

it won't connect to any computer, tried to reach support, no answer yet, awaiting support

it arrived and plugged it into the computer and nothing would poop up so i manually checked it and there was no driver so it didnt work but when i turned it on only the red like would stay on solid no flasshing. turn it off and the red light stays on. hoppefully i can return it.
