About this app

Background Camera is a top-tier background recording application that enables seamless photo and video capture without the need for preview. Whether you're engrossed in gaming, watching live broadcasts, listening to tunes, chatting, using other apps, or even when your phone screen is locked, you can capture high - quality photos, videos, and audios anytime, anywhere.

This app is a staple for journalists and lawyers, and is also invaluable for business professionals in the workplace to record meeting content. If you've used apps like Secret Camera APP, Background Video Recorder or Camcorder APP, Silent Camera APP, or Hidden Camera APP, you'll find that Background Camera combines all their best features and more. Now, you only need this all-in-one solution.

Features :
★ Hide photos and videos from others.
★ PIN lock support & Hide app features, protect the folder contents with a password lock.
★ Create shortcuts on the phone’s home screen or add quick setting tiles in the notification bar for one-click starting recording.
★ Supported time setting or custom watermark text function. Add watermarks when recording, such as time text or other custom text.
★ Replace the APP icon on the desktop with another APP, such as compass or calculator APP.
★ Overlay a global black view on any other app (such as live apps or video chat) to simulate the phone screen being off. The “Force Full Screen” feature requires accessibility permission.
★ Take photos and record videos in the locked screen state by clicking the notification component in the notification bar.
★ Desktop widgets are supported, and you can customize the widget button style.
★ In the Black Screen mode, start/stop recording videos, taking photos, and recording audios through the “Volume” key or Bluetooth controller as if the phone is off.
★ Support front and rear cameras.
★ Auto-split video files.
★ Save to the removable SD card.
★ Save files to the album of your choice.
★ Unlimited video duration.

Mobile System Consideration
Due to mobile system limitations, the phone may enter power - saving mode and turn off high - power - consumption hardware like the camera when the screen is off for an extended period, leading to abnormal video recording. Thus, when recording videos and not using your phone for a long time, we recommend using the Black Screen Mode instead of pressing the power key to prevent the phone from entering power-saving mode.

Subscription Version Benefits
Most functions are free, but the subscription version unlocks even more:
1. No ads.
2. Super black screen function with a black view that can overlay on any other app to simulate the screen being off.
3. One-tap quick shooting for quickly starting camera capture.
4. Background shooting while using other apps like playing games or watching YouTube for taking photos and recording videos.
5. Use gestures password to protect your files.
6. Hide media files that can only be viewed in our app and undetected by any other app.
7. Icon replacement to choose your favorite app icon style on the home screen.
8. Add time watermark or other custom watermarks to photos and videos.

Subscription is required to unlock all the above features. Thank you very much for your support. Of course, you can also unlock it for free by watching ads.

Important Notices
1. Do not open the camera of other apps while recording.
2. Avoid manually clicking the power button to lock the screen during video recording.
3. Use the black screen mode to simulate the screen - off state.
4. Since notification bars and navigation bars are system components, accessibility services are required to hide them. Rest assured, we do not obtain user - sensitive data through this service.

Definitely not for me. Costs $30 for an app. Expensive much? I wanted to simply create a homescreen shortcut that would immediately start recording without launching the app main screen when pressed. But I can only long press and then select record. Maybe there is a way but I shouldn't have to watch five YouTube videos and spend an hour trying to figure it out. Kept getting annoying prompts every few seconds. Cluttered and a mess.

Sorry for the bad experience. You can create a desktop shortcut through the One-Tap function and select the corresponding option according to your actual needs. Quickly start the camera to record a video

This app has potential but I couldn't find the files after taking photos. In addition, the pop up ads were horribly obnoxious. After my frustration overcame me, I attempted to delete the app but it wouldn't delete. Finally, using additional software I was able to get rid of the app and all of its files. This doesn't appear to me to be an honest operation. Read about the data it collects.

Very disappointing. Paid for a subscription and the first time I actually needed it to record the recording stopped because the screen brushes against my pants in background mode and stopped. It's useless until they find a way to fix it so that nothing other than hitting the top left corner and entering your pin will stop the recording.

Go to the app's profile > Other settings page and confirm whether the "Touch screen shooting" option is enabled. Enabling this option may cause recording interruptions. Also, do not touch the volume button while recording.
