I just need a video recording app that can record in the background, while my display is turned off. I appreciate the app & it's abilities, but i currently dont want it to detect audio or motion activated, I still want it to record audio & video,but i just want to turn it on & let it run in the background. I dont understand why i cant do this with this app. Perhaps there is an app that is more appropriate for me? -Thanks.

Maybe this app fits your requirements: https://github.com/Myzel394/Alibi

@Simplenuity , Thank you. thats pretty cool. Do you know of any other video recorders that record while running in the background?

Simplenuity commented 4 months ago

You're welcome, @Username23453. I haven't specifically searched for any. So there might be indeed some out there I haven't come across yet. I'd start my search here: https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/remotedroid_webcams https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/foto_camera

Hope that helps :)

Alibi only records audio. TimeLapseCam is libre and can record video in the background, although it has occasional video corruption issues. Haven just crashes on my phone when attempting to record video.

@hjek, please have a look here: https://github.com/Myzel394/Alibi/releases/tag/v0.4.0 "This release includes the long awaited video support for Alibi!" Has been released in January.

@Simplenuity Thanks! The new version of Alibi works great.
