Product Description
You won’t believe how easy it is to use your camera and microphone remotely without your knowledge; to spy on you; stalk you; or harm you when you are not protected.
Camera and Mic Blocker app blocks all cameras and microphones in your device, providing full protection against:
• Spies, stalkers, spyware and various malware
• Taking pictures/videos/voice recordings in secure areas.
For your information, you are always able to make telephone calls even when the microphone is blocked.
Camera and Mic Blocker app is the perfect anti spy camera/mic blocker application.
There are two major functions:
1. Enable / Disable camera and microphone manually.
2. Enable / disable camera and microphone automatically according to time of day or location.
Camera and Mic Blocker is also useful for those who work at secure environments. One time only – define your workplace location and let the app block your camera and microphone automatically when you’re at work. You can also protect your settings with a password so that the app will always function and your device will be constantly protected while you’re at work. Additionally, special notification allows you to verify the status of your device’s camera and mic.
Please note: When the application is password-protected, the level of security is at its maximum. Even when your device has no cellular location reception or when you are in Airplane Mode, your camera and mic will remain blocked.

Feature List
• 24/7 anti-spy security
• 3 modes (Manually, Block by Time, Block by Location)
• Whitelist – option to grant permanent camera/mic access to specific authorized applications
• Password protection
• Multi-language support
• Camera blocker Tasker/Llama/Automate plugin
• Extreme battery saving

• Location mode capabilities: automatic location acquisition, dynamic notifications, auto-sleep when screen is off and auto launch after
• Controlling camera and mic widgets

Please note! Camera and Mic Blocker use various methods to securely block your device’s microphone, yet the possibility still exists that the app will not work on certain devices (based on the combination of device type and operating system). In the event that your device’s microphone is not successfully blocked by the app, please let us know in an email and we promise to get back to you when the issue is resolved.

Note:
Camera and Mic Blocker was designed to consume negligible battery power, therefore the location aware function is based on your network location provider and will not use your GPS (Network location accuracy is widely variable and can sometimes be worse than 1500 meters, therefore setting a "camera disabled area" radius of 50-250 meters is effective only if there is an active wi-fi hot spot in the desired location, otherwise you should set a radius of at least 300 meters).
