Recognition of surveillance through a smartphone camera will help monitor the main parameters of the device, which will confirm or refute fears. About this agency “Prime” said Vahe Zakarian is the head of the Gem Space super app development team.
According to the expert, rapid draining of the smartphone battery can be a sign of surveillance. This may indicate that the camera is running in the background and transmitting data over the internet. However, Zakarian noted that such a phenomenon could also be caused by other reasons, such as watching videos or running out of battery.
To check if the camera is the source of the problem, you need to go to device settings and see which apps are consuming the most power. This can be a cause for concern if the camera is among the leaders.
Another sign of surveillance is the sharp increase in Internet traffic consumption.
“A sharp increase in Internet consumption may indicate unauthorized external activity, provided that the user does not change their standard habits and behavior on the Internet,” said the expert.
To avoid surveillance, Zakarian suggested that most apps restrict access to the camera, especially if they don’t need to be running. He also recommended using antivirus programs and not installing suspicious applications from unknown sources.
Zakarian added that phone camera surveillance is not a common occurrence, especially for ordinary citizens. However, he urged users to be careful and pay attention to their safety on the internet.
