About this app

CamLock is a light-weight, non-intrusive camera blocking application developed by 42Gears. It is designed to protect sensitive business information within the business premises. The application seamlessly integrates with any visitor or attendance management system, helping prevent data breach of any sort.

CamLock activates and deactivates smartphone cameras based on employee activity, location, and/or time of day. The solution is designed to prevent hackers and competitors from gaining access to business-critical information by leveraging a phone’s camera.

Although the solution is useful for business across all industry verticals, businesses in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, banking, automotive, and retail sectors stand to benefit the most from it.
