Oppo is giving a lot to talk about in recent days, not only because of the presentation of its OPPO Find X5, X5 Pro and Reno7 Z 5G, some models that promise a lot , now they have also announced a function that, in addition to being curious, can be quite useful on more than one occasion.
Yes, we are talking about Oppo’s new feature to detect hidden cameras near you. It sounds like science fiction but it is real . How have they achieved it? That is what we will try to explain to you below.
How does OPPO’s camera detector work?
OPPO has not given many details about the operation of this app, what we do know is that it is part of the new functions of ColorOS 12.1 , the latest update of OPPO’s customization layer.
In order to use this function , you need to download the app available on OPPO’s app store . Currently the only two phones that can meet these requirements are the OPPO Find X5 and X5 Pro.
But this does not answer the question that you are surely asking yourself: how do they detect hidden cameras? The answer is quite ingenious, this app scans the Wi-Fi connection of the hidden camera . And as if that wasn’t enough, it can also detect the infrared light that some cameras use to enhance their “night vision.”
Can I install the OPPO app on my mobile?
For now, the OPPO application to detect hidden cameras is available only for OPPO Find X5 and X5 Pro, not even other models of the brand will be able to enjoy this peculiar application yet.
However, being an app that has attracted so much attention, we can assume that OPPO will eventually enable this app for more devices and, perhaps, for mobile phones of other brands.
OPPO’s app could end up the same as GCAM
And if we don’t do it officially, we can always count on the help of developers to enjoy this app on other phones , unofficially. As is the case with Google’s GCAM on mobile phones from Xiaomi and other manufacturers.
In addition, it is also possible that the presentation of this new function of OPPO motivates other manufacturers to decide to develop their own versions of it . We would like to know your opinion, do you think this app is useful? Tell us in the comments.
