What is mSpy’s remote camera? 

mSpy is a popular monitoring software that is packed with features. Among them is the remote camera feature, which is available only for users of the premium extreme package. As its name suggests, this feature allows users to take photos using the target android device.

It’s important to note that remote camera functionality is exclusive to android devices. It cannot be used on iOS devices like iPhones or iPads.

 

How to set up mSpy’s remote camera

The good news is that there isn’t much setup involved in getting this feature up and running. Here are the steps you need to follow:

  • Subscribe to mSpy’s extreme package if you haven’t already.
  • The target android device must be set up according to the instructions provided by mSpy.
  • Log in to your mSpy dashboard and navigate to the control panel.
  • Click on features and then RemCam.
  • When you see an image from the target device’s camera, it means everything has been set up correctly.

 

Using the remote camera

If you have used other features in mSpy before, you will find that RemCam doesn’t stray from what we have come accustomed with this monitoring software – it’s easy-to-use and effective. With just a few clicks, you can start taking photos using the target phone. Here is how it works:

  • Log in at any time when your target device isn’t being used by its user.
  • Open your dashboard and click on RemCam.
  • You will see two buttons – capture photo and turn on camera. The former does exactly what its name says while clicking on turn on camera gives you a live stream of what’s going on around the target phone.

 

Here are some reasons why you might want to use RemCam: 

  • To check if your kid has fallen asleep or they are still playing with their phone at 3 am.
  • See who else is at home when your child says they are alone studying.
  • Check if an employee has left their desk or they are slacking off during working hours.

Just keep in mind that remotely activating an Android phone’s camera will make some noise – so make sure your volume settings won’t give away your surveillance operation.

 

What are some advantages of using the remote camera? 

RemCam is a powerful tool for parents who need extra help keeping their children safe as well as employers who want employees who aren’t afraid of being monitored (because they know they aren’t doing anything wrong). Other advantages include:

  1. Real-time monitoring gives parents peace of mind because they always know what their kids are doing.
  2. It helps prevent bullying because parents can see firsthand mean messages sent through instant messaging apps.
  3. It works seamlessly within mSpy so there aren’t additional apps or dashboards users have to juggle between.
  4. Thanks to capturing images silently, no one will know they are being monitored through their phones.

 

But there are some disadvantages to using RemCam 

No technology feature is perfect – and this one makes no exception from this rule either:

  1. Unfortunately for iPhone owners, this feature cannot be used with these devices since RemCam only works with Android phones.
  2. There could be privacy concerns raised by using this feature so make sure only ethical surveillance actions are performed using it.
  3. An active internet connection needs to link both phones during image capturing sessions which means unstable connections could hinder its performance.
  4. Any mSpy user knows they have access not just ot customer support but also an extensive knowledge base so lack of resources isn't a problem - but overuse could drain battery life from targeted phones which may raise suspicions regarding whether those devices are hacked or not.

  • Make sure all software updates were installed!
  • Overusing any app will drain battery life including mSpy's tools!
