Are you concerned that someone might access your phone without your knowlegde? When you've just briefly left the room, while you're asleep or you lose your phone? Play it safe and find it out! Lockscreen Observer takes a picture with your front camera whenever a wrong PIN code is being entered. Receive the photo and the current location of your device via email.
Features
• The app takes pictures with your phone's front camera whenever a false access PIN code has just been entered
• Also determines the (GPS) location if a picture is taken
• Send photos and the location via email or simply store this data on your phone
• Set the number of failed access attempts after which a picture is being taken
• Display notification in the status bar whenever a new photo is available
• Our widget will inform you as soon as a new photo is available
• App reacts to false entry of either PIN code, pattern or even your phone's finger-print sensor!
• Since most of the photos will probably be of yourself (when you mistype the code), you hereby also get a nice selfie app
Take a picture when the correct PIN code is entered
It is also possible to have the app take a picture when the correct PIN code has been entered. This is only possible though, when a wrong PIN code has been entered at least once before the correct PIN code is being entered. So, should someone have found out the correct PIN code after various failed attempts, then you'll be notified and get a picture.
Unlock attempt not detected/no picture taken?
Android requires a minimal password/pattern length of 4 characters. Therefore, a picture is only being taken when a minimum of 4 characters have been entered (pin) or 4 pads have been connected (lock pattern).
Uninstall
In order to uninstall the app, you'll have to disable the 'Lockscreen Monitoring' in the app settings first. This is a restriction of the Android security policies.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission.
The Device Administrator makes use of the watch-login policy to get triggered when the wrong pin is beeing entered.
