Everything you need for
facility-level control

A complete, multi-layered security system that manages camera access based on physical location through QR code entry and exit scanning.

📷

QR-Based Entry Control

Scan facility entry QR codes to automatically enroll the device and activate camera lockdown. Works entirely offline once validated.

🔓

Smart Exit Unlock

Scan exit QR codes to instantly restore full camera access and cleanly remove device enrollment from the system.

🛡

Hardware-Level Lock

Uses the Android Device Administration API to disable the camera at the hardware level — not just the app, but the entire hardware stack.

👁

Real-Time Monitoring

A persistent foreground service monitors foreground apps in real time and blocks any camera application the moment it launches.

📱

Overlay Protection

Full-screen warning overlays instantly block any attempt to open a camera app, with clear messaging for the user.

🔄

Boot Persistence

Locks are maintained across reboots. The service auto-starts on device boot and restores the previous enrollment state.

📡

Backend Validation

Every QR scan is validated in real time against a secure REST API using JWT token authentication with expiration checks.

🔋

Battery Optimized

Requests battery optimization exemption to ensure the security service always runs, even on aggressive battery management systems.

📲

MIUI / Android 14+

Special compatibility handling for Xiaomi MIUI devices and Android 14+ enhanced permission requirements.

Simple QR workflow,
enterprise-grade results

The entire entry-to-exit lifecycle is handled automatically through QR scanning. No complex setup needed by end users.

  • 🔑

    1. Grant Permissions

    The app guides you through granting necessary permissions. On iOS, this includes installing a secure management profile to enforce camera restrictions.

  • 📋

    2. Scan Entry QR Code

    On entering a secure facility, scan the entry QR code. The app validates the token and instantly enrolls your device into the secure zone.

  • 🔒

    3. Camera Locked

    Camera hardware is disabled system-wide. On iOS, the camera app will be hidden from the home screen for maximum security during your stay.

  • 4. Secure Exit

    Android: Scan the exit QR code to unblock.
    iOS: Enter the verification code provided at the exit to remove the profile and restore camera access.

iOS

MDM Profile Security

Uses Apple's MDM framework for hardware-level camera blocking

AND

Device Admin Policy

System-level enforcement via Android Device Administration

QR

API Validation

Real-time JWT validation for every entry/exit request

EXIT

Dynamic Restoration

Full camera access restored instantly upon verified exit

Four layers of
camera enforcement

No single mechanism is relied on. CamBlock stacks multiple independent layers of camera enforcement to ensure no gap exists — enforcing policies at the hardware level on both iOS and Android.

Using Android Device Administration and iOS MDM Profile Management, we disable camera access across the entire system, ensuring compliance in restricted zones.

Permissions & what they're for

CamBlock requests only the permissions necessary for its security functions. Here's exactly why each one is needed.

📷 Camera & Network

CAMERA Required for QR code scanning at entry/exit gates
INTERNET Backend API communication for QR validation
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Monitors network connectivity before making API calls

🛡 Device Management

ANDROID DEVICE ADMIN Core permission to disable camera hardware via system policy
iOS MDM PROFILE Installs a secure management profile to restrict camera usage

⚙️ System & Monitoring

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW Displays blocking overlay when a camera app is detected
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS Detects which app is in the foreground for blocking
FOREGROUND_SERVICE Keeps the monitoring service running persistently

🔋 Persistence

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED Auto-restores lock state after device reboot
WAKE_LOCK Prevents the OS from killing the monitoring service
REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS Ensures the service survives aggressive power saving
