Description

Camera Unlock : shoot pictures from a locked device ...

If you get a company smartphone, it is most probably password protected ... In that case "Camera Unlock" is designed for you. This application allows to get access to the camera while the smartphone remains locked (even password protected) !

Upload the application, launch it and a notification will be displayed to inform that the "Camera Unlock" service is running.

Once your device get locked (password protected, swipe or pin), you get two options:
- either just press 3 times the power button each press shall occur around once every second (no more) and a camera will appear. The correct sequence is: press it, wait for screen on, press it, wait for screen off, press it : a bit "à la pressy"
- or set your device in a vertical position up side down and press once the power button and release it (you get a vibration) then turn back the phone horizontally in landscape position (you get a second vibration). This works too when the screen is OFF and the phone not locked

Use it ... the pictures are stored in the external SD card in the directory DCIM/Camera if available or in the device memory same directory in case the SD card is not present.

Once the camera is unlocked, pressing the "back" button will lock again the camera and brings back on the device lock screen .

From a security point of view, don't be afraid, only "Camera Unlock" application is unlocked. It remains impossible to access to any other application. It is more or less the same principle which is used by the agenda to warn you of a rendez-vous even if the device is locked.

On splash screen you get the opportunity to activate/inhibit the background service and also to show or not the Camera Unlock notification. When the notification is displayed, pressing it brings you to the camera.

Note after having installed the application Camera Unlock Service will automatically be loaded if you reboot the device.

if you like, go to the pro version ! (includes a timer, full resolution, selectable focus area...)

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★Great app and really pleased to be able to do this now. .. Was working fine but now just having taking a pick it gives a Java error saying there's no such file or directory...continue yes/no... Please fix :)
5 ★missed lots of photos by having to unlock phone before i could use the camera. the app works well and i am ready to shoot in five seconds
3 ★Got a null pointer exception. Also the vertical unlock activate doesn't work. On the second try, null pointer exception is gone. But vertical activate still doesn't work.
3 ★It works great to take photos without having to unlock the device but, I can't find any of the photos I take on my camera roll. Could you please help? Will rate 5 stars once the issue is fixed.
4 ★A setting for shutter sound enabling would be nice. Especially in outdoor, a sound would be much easier to know if the picture is taken.
3 ★I really like it ! But I have a question how do we stop the application from running ? It wastes my battery
4 ★Handy work around to enable use of a camera without having to unlock the device. Would benefit from a button on the interface to change wake options.
