Turning your Nokia into a spy camera with iCamCU

An application with the somewhat cheesy name ofiCamCU claims to be able to turn a smartphone into a spy camera, reports Mobile Gazette, allows user to monitor or conduct surveillance for fun, on your mates, children or pets.

newswireless.net suggests, "you leave your Nokia smartphone casually lying somewhere - like, watching the unattended dinner on the table - and when you suspect the culprit is there, you send a text to the phone. And it takes a picture.

And then the software sends the picture - or the video - back to you, automatically, via MMS.

... "It is also possible to run the iCamCU software in what amounts to a 'stealth mode on the remote handset. You can, then, turn someone else's phone into a webcam if they habitually leave it lying on its side, pointing at something of interest.".
