The Sphere Pen Camera is manufactured for and distributed by Sphere Gadgets whose plant (like all others) is located in China but who claim it is operated by a 'team of American engineers'.

Zetronix is a spy gadgets distributer based out of Boston, Massachusetts, and has been in the online electronics market since 2005.
