Camera Lock 1.0

Am I being watched? Is my camera on but did I somehow miss the green LED? Thanks to click-jacking, trojan horses and malware, hackers have found ways to turn on your camera without your consent. Camera Lock enables you to lock your camera and refuse access by any app. If a camera was already in use, its video will freeze immediately and the green LED will start flashing. No more need to tape over your camera!

And, if you unlock your camera for normal use but forgot to lock it again, don`t worry: When unlocked, Camera Lock detects (unwanted) usage and alerts you. Even if some other app only prepares a camera for standby, with the green LED still off.
