I have declared it on my app, on my google play and my website. Privacy policy If you did not buy the premium version - google ads could be using unidentified data as required by google and declared also on my app , my google play store and website. In the BVR Pro I have added an extra : "Setting:Delete User Data & restore defaults" OR "Setting:restore defaults" on older version. But - again - my app saves & shares no data.

Q : Does this app consume allot of battery?
A : my app consumes as little power as possible. while not recording - it is a simple empty service that run in the background.
while recording - it takes less then normal camera because it uses no preview(display is the main power consumption while recording).
In fact - it has better performance becuase of that.
Best practice for power consumption :
make sure to run the Setting:Permission wizard to disable battery optimization. you can set it from Settings:Special features:by pass optimization level: 

• a. none - battery consumption optimized. use it if you do not use the volume button to start/stop recording.
• b. normal - you care about volume button functionality but not so much.
• c. aggressive - functionality of the volume button will be optimized. when using this level - if the audio of the recording has a small background noise - Setting:advanced:Set noise reduction: enabled.

Q : Android 12 - can I lose the green privacy camera dot? You will need to run this command in command prompt after installing android developer tools. "adb shell cmd device_config put privacy camera_mic_icons_enabled false default" You will need adb which is a developer tool How to install ADB

Q : Why 60 FPS do not work on my brand new S21/S22?
I have contacted Samsung developer support, they do not support more then 30 FPS for 3rd party apps.
I have used some tricks to bypass this limitation - it does not always help.

• Settings:Camera2:60 FPS.
• Settings:Camera2:Fast FPS: try 60/90/120 FPS.
• Try different cameras - sometimes the wide camera supports it and the main not.
• Try different resolutions - on my S20 - 4K 60 FPS works (while FHD 60 FPS not).
• Buy a Pixel, this is the recommendation from Samsung as can be seen below:

FAQ Streaming/WebRTC

Attention : Network data consumption may apply!

Q : What does it means streaming using WebRTC?
A : BVR Pro is using the free open source WebRTC technology.
The WebRTC project is open-source and supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla, amongst others.
WebRTC official web site

Q : Is WebRTC safe?
A : WebRTC is completly secure. all messages and video stream are SSL encrypted, all websites are trusted and behind SSL\Https.

Q : Is data being collected?
A : You will need to enter the same email on both device/PC/Android TV for the identification of the call.
this email is not collected. When you disconnect, the server deletes this record.

A : Is the video stream really private?
The video stream is peer to peer SSL encrypted and secured like whatsapp or zoom, only the first connection is using my server.

Q : Can I use more then 2 devices/PCs/Android TV?
A : Not yet, but I am working on multiple video stream support.

Q : Does it needs available internet?
A : Yes, my app uses the internet to connect between devices.

Q : Is it working on all networks?
A : No.

• It will work the best if both devices are on the same local network, if it is available it will be chosen as a default path by the WebRTC engine.
• It could work on cellular network if your provider do not block video calls.
• If you cannot connect - you may have to open UDP & TCP ports as reffered by the WebRTC protocols
