Background Camera 3.1.331

The Background Camera app presents a robust solution for capturing photos and recording videos discreetly in the background. Its functionality extends beyond simple photography, offering a motion detection feature that can effectively transform your phone into a security camera to safeguard your property. Additionally, users can repurpose an old phone as a baby monitor, enabling live streaming and audio monitoring of an infant.

Users have the convenience of activating continuous photo capturing with a straightforward tap of the "big orange button." The application boasts several noteworthy features:

• Repetitive photo capturing
• Motion detection
• Video recording
• Baby monitoring

Recent updates introduce CameraX support, which enables dual-camera functionality on compatible devices. Additional enhancements include night, HDR, and bokeh extensions that optimize imaging capabilities.

The app utilizes machine learning algorithms for efficient detection of people, faces, animals, and text through OCR technology.

Among its user-friendly features, the app includes a "big red button" for easy recording initiation without needing to keep the display active. Furthermore, users can utilize volume buttons for recording control. The "big green button" activates motion detection; however, users are advised to ensure device stability and adequate lighting for optimal performance.

For parents, the baby monitor function allows real-time streaming and audio monitoring. Setup is quick and private—simply scan the randomized QR code on the provided website with an Android device to initiate the service without needing personal data.

The app facilitates video recording upon motion detection, offering home monitoring options through secure dedicated links. Users can employ one phone as a discreet motion detector while using another device or even a television for monitoring purposes. Notably, the two devices do not need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, allowing remote monitoring from varied locations.

A demonstration of the app's motion detection capabilities highlights features such as:

• Background motion detection
• Preview capability before recording
• Volume button activation for recording
• High-resolution photo capture while recording
• Tablet support

Users are encouraged to run the permission wizard to disable battery optimization for optimal performance, particularly if utilizing volume buttons for recording. An optimization guide is available for specific devices.

Upon detecting motion, users can:

• Capture images
• Receive sound notifications
• Premium users have options to record video when motion is detected with configurable settings for recording length
