CELL PHONE SURVEILLANCE

There are cell phone apps that allows someone to survey others information. These apps are mainly created for phones running the Android software. One app named the “M-Spy” can be used to listen in on others conversation. All one has to do is download the app, set up a pin number and your phone becomes audio bug. You leave the phone where you want to spy, send it a text message with that pin number and voila.
That’s one of the many surveillance apps, another app can be used as an IP webcam. This app is very simple to setup, all you have to do is run the software. Once the software is running it immediately starts recording and sending information. In order to see your Droid web camera all you have to do is visit the IP address that is listed at the bottom of the setup page. There are several ways you can view the webcam; Stream through a media player such as VLC, use a java browser plug-in, connect to PC for use with messengers such as Skype, or take an immediate photo.


Technology has come a long way and is expanding the boundaries of the modern day cell phone.  Although the miss use of this technology may become a problem especially if put into the wrong hands of Pedi filers or criminals.  There should be some kind of limits to who can download these apps or what essentially is there use for the app.  We make new technology daily but never take time to look into their effect or consequences.
