Rose 0 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hello, I am looking for the feature to block the phone's camera. Currently, I have seen several security applications that do such a thing. I want to know if the ESET antivirus also has the capability to do this? And will it be possible to add this feature in the future or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The Endpoint version has camera blocking capability because it has a device management feature. I couldn't find any such capability for the consumer version of the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose 0 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) After receiving your feedback, I also examined the Endpoint version. However, I didn't come across an option to enable or disable camera blocking. Were you referring to protecting the camera by "blocking" it? Besides the camera protection feature, I would like to have the ability to block, as well as mute, and I'm not promoting another application, but I've seen these two features in a software from a company. I would like these capabilities to be in the eset antivirus. In that software, if you have enabled camera blocking, any app that tries to access the camera (whether it's you, a hacker or ...) will display a black image. Similarly, when you activate sound blocking, no sound will be recorded during audio recording through an app, whether you want to record the sound yourself or otherwise.

itman 1,659 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 You posted in the Eset Mobile section of the forum. As such, I assumed you were referring to the Eset Mobile product. Are you referring to the desktop versions of Eset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose 0 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 I mean the mobile version (Android). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Eset Endpoint of Android mentions camera restrictions; Quote Device security provides administrators with options to perform the following: •execute basic security policies across mobile devices and define policies for important device settings •specify the required screen lock strength •restrict built-in camera usage https://help.eset.com/eesa/2/en-US/device_management.html?zoom_highlightsub=camera What is unclear is if this feature only exists in the managed versions of the product.
