Unfortunately none of the above spy camera apps are bug free.. they are not to be trusted, some with malware, some with spyware that will spy on you instead. The only one that I found to be actually useful was Droid Camspy.. its new and its developer is super responsive to add recommended features.

Btw, I am not a friend of the developer and not doing promotion of this app.. but just wanted my fellow ‘spies’ to know..
