Product Details

Some situations call for recording that runs quietly in the background for days or weeks at a time—without needing daily attention. The FD50 is built for exactly that. With a 25-day battery in voice activation mode, it captures audio only when sound is detected, conserving power automatically. When continuous recording matters more, it runs for 32 hours straight on a single charge.

The 64GB of built-in storage holds up to 2,304 hours of audio, so weeks of recordings fit on one device without transferring files. Five sensitivity levels let you dial in the exact threshold for voice activation, whether the room is quiet or busy. Automatic level control adjusts the microphone based on how close or far speakers are, keeping audio clear without manual adjustments. Plug into any USB port or power adapter for unlimited recording time when you need continuous operation beyond the battery.

When you're ready to review, just plug the FD50 into any Mac or Windows computer. Files are standard MP3, no software required. Time and date stamps keep everything organized. No lights or sounds during operation—just reliable, unobtrusive recording that works the way you need it to.
