Remote Access to Phone on Android - How to Manage it from a Computer on Windows?

Is it possible to connect to another phone's camera?

Users actually have this opportunity; phone owners can monitor anyone using special applications. Any hacked device with a camera will be able to reproduce what is happening, broadcasting the image and transmitting sound to the spy's phone. It’s good if the user they want to spy on has a gadget with the Android 4.0 operating system or higher. Problems may arise with iPhone gadgets, since the device can block applications and their connection to the system.

At the same time, many software that allows two gadgets to synchronize allows the hacker to hide and remain unnoticed.

The person being monitored will not know that he is under someone else's surveillance. This is the beauty of apps. Some spying software is free or offers a trial period for testing, and their simple interface allows you to quickly understand how the software works.

Service from Google: Android Device Manager

A basic set of management capabilities can be obtained using a Google account. As you know, during operation, devices with the Android operating system log into their account in order to use the various capabilities of the service. This can be used to control such a smartphone.

To connect, you need to know your login and password. After entering them, you can use the same account on two devices. After completing the login procedure, the main window will be displayed. It will display information about all devices that use this account. Next to each of them you can read the last time it went online, as well as the battery charge level.

A panel will be displayed here, with which the following actions will be available:

1. Ring the device. If you use this option, you will be able to hear a sound signal produced by the gadget. As a result, it will be easier to determine its location. You need to know that even a device with the “Silent” profile enabled will in this case emit a loud signal.
2. If a mobile device is stolen, you have the opportunity to block it. In this case, another person will not be able to familiarize himself with the confidential information on him. If your smartphone is lost, you can not only block the device, but also display useful information on the gadget’s screen in the form of a text message (for example, the owner’s number).
3. Using a Google account, you can perform a full reset. In this case, all data will be erased and the smartphone will be reset to factory settings.

When viewing the settings, Google makes it possible to determine the location where the connected phone is located at that time. It must be remembered that this method will work provided that there is an active connection to the Internet. In this case, you need to know the login and password to log into the desired account.

The same functions can be performed if you download the Android Remote Control application.

The user gains access from one Android device to another. Both smartphones must have access to a Google account, a connection to the Internet and GPS must be configured.

Advantages and disadvantages

Why do you need access to someone else's camera?

Alternatively, the owner of the gadget can replace an expensive video surveillance system in this way.
