In the world of high technologies and the value of personal information, methods of covert espionage through video cameras of mobile devices are very developed, so it is very important to be able to protect yourself from spy photography and video filming.
Mobile espionage isn't that uncommon these days. You can protect yourself from this trouble in different ways.
Method 1. Plaster or electrical tape
You can always cover the camera of your smartphone or laptop with regular tape or tape. In this case, you can use the camera only by peeling off the protective layer, which leads to certain inconveniences, and it does not look particularly presentable. This method is perfect for those who do not use the camera of a mobile device at all or use it very rarely.
Method 2. Special accessory
Not so long ago, special latches appeared on the market of accessories for mobile devices, which are glued to the surface of the device in the area of / u200b / u200bthe location of the video camera. These devices represent a frame on which the shutter is located, which, if necessary, moves to the side.
Such protective devices look quite stylish, but you need to use them carefully, otherwise the frame may come off, and the valve will fall out of it and get lost.
Therefore, it is best to use such protective devices for stationary webcams of small size, for example, to protect the front camera on a laptop.
Method 3. Make it yourself from scrap materials
However, to protect personal mobile devices, you can easily and quickly create protection against spy shots using your own smartphone with your own hands. In ordinary life, one cannot do without photo and video filming, so the created device should provide ease of use, be practical and stylishly complement the image of the owner, and not be a thorn in the eye on a personal mobile phone. It turns out that it is very easy and quick to create it at home from what is at hand.
To stylishly and beautifully protect your phone from spy filming, you will need: an ordinary hair elastic of a suitable color and thickness (if there is no such elastic, then an ordinary 7 mm thick linen elastic will do), a decorative element of your choice, threads, scissors, a needle. So, to create a stylish protection against mobile espionage through a video camera, follow these steps:
- If a hair tie is used, then you just need to put it on your smartphone. Ideal if it already has a suitable decorative element on top of the rear camera. If a decorative element is missing, then how to add it is described below.
- If there is no ready-made elastic band, use your regular linen. Wrap it tightly around the smartphone (the elastic should be on top of the case) so that it goes through the areas of the cameras. If the case allows, you can thread it through the hole for attaching the wrist loop or simply glue it to the side of the silicone case so the elastic will not be lost.
- Cut to the required length and secure the ends.
-
The rear camera is usually larger than the front camera, so the gum may not cover the entire field of view of the rear camera. To correct this circumstance, fasten the decorative element to the elastic band in this place. It can be sewn on or glued on, or secured in some other way. The method of fastening will depend on what exactly is chosen as a decorative element. What exactly it will be depends on the personal preferences, style and taste of the owner of the mobile device.
A decorative element can be sewn or draped yourself (a figurine made of felt or other fabric, a bow or a flower made from a satin ribbon), you can cut it out of cardboard or an opaque plastic cover, or use a ready-made one from a flat keyring or children's rubber band.
Fantasies for every taste are allowed here. The main thing is that the decor is opaque and overlaps the camera's peephole.
-
The protective device is ready!
To use the camcorder, simply remove the rubber band, and to close the view, simply put it on again.
