Security Cam App: Convert Your iPhone into a Spy Camera

Have you ever imagined playing Sherlock Holmes with your iPhone? Well, it might sound to be a fantasy till the recent past, but not until now as the App Store now as this fascinating Security Cam app, which can turn your iPhone into a spy camera. This app was first submitted to Apple way back in December of 2008, finally to get approval recently.

However, this new application has cooked up quite a storm in the developer’s fraternity, who has expressed their reservations against approval of this application on the context that Google Voice was rejected on controversial grounds having close similarity to the Crowded Road’s new Security Cam iPhone app.

Priced reasonably at 99 cents for the first 1,000 to download it (It will be priced up to $2.99 after that), the app allows iPhone owners set a phone to take a picture, every time the phone's microphone picks up sound or either at a set interval according to the iPhone user’s prerogative. Not only that, the two modes can also be set to run at the same time.

Security Cam iPhone app: How it works

According to its developer, the Security Cam iPhone app works by basically converting your iPhone into a functioning ‘security and spy camera’. Some users however, have taken exception to the fact and discouraged promoting users to spy on people and take pictures without their knowledge. Basically, it is all about not finding the App very socially responsible, other than the fact that you are into some spy or security business.

Experts have rated the application excellent for those looking for opportunities in the security or spy business – with some impressive features. Most users would prefer to use it with a customized audio that triggers off the camera to take pictures when a certain audio level is reached. Apart from that, other relevant features include a frequency function that allows you set a countdown till a picture is taken; a time and date stamp, and a battery conservation option that will allow the iPhone to go into sleep mode until a specific time.

Limitations….

One possible limitation with this app and other similar ones too is that, here you have to set up your phone somewhere, then retrieve it in order to see the pictures it has taken. This is slightly less convenient than tools like IP Camera, which lets you see the photos as they're being taken. However, Security Cam app saves them locally and makes use of the iPhone's microphone hardware.

Security Equipment Rental

If all cellphones have Security cam applications, there's nothing to worry about regrading untoward incidences. It may be expensive but its indeed very helpful. Security equipment rental can also provide spy cams at a very good price.

looks great..but shud be consumin a lot of battery power..

Unfortunately, this application, as useful as it may prove to some, or intrusive to others, is not possible. Background applications cannot run on the iphone, the user would have to actively open iSpy
