## Description

Background Video Recorder is a discreet camera app designed for quick and easy video recording. With one-click access, it allows users to start and stop video capture silently, without preview screens or shutter sounds. The app supports background recording, even while the screen is off, enabling continuous video capture without interruption.

Key features include the ability to record in Full HD (1920x1080), support for both front and back cameras, video saving on SD card, scheduled recordings, call recording, and orientation support. It offers customization options like disabling notifications, setting video duration limits, and using shortcuts or widgets for quick access. This makes it an ideal tool for personal, professional, or discreet recording needs, all wrapped in a clean, easy-to-use interface.

## Review summary

Users appreciate that the app allows background video recording with the screen off and supports long recordings up to 2 hours, including audio capture. However, major complaints include frequent intrusive ads disrupting use, failure to save videos properly leading to audio-only files or lost footage, and settings that reset every time the app is closed. Additionally, users report crashes, inability to preview recordings, and no option to choose where videos are stored, all of which affect reliability and user experience negatively.

### Pros

- Long recording duration supported, up to 2 hours.
- Records both video and background audio effectively.
- Simple to use with some users finding it suitable for discreet recording.
- Has a secret video folder that keeps recordings separate from general gallery.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive advertisements that interfere with app usage and settings.
- Videos sometimes fail to save correctly, resulting in audio-only files or missing footage.
- Settings reset to default every time the app closes, causing inconvenience.
- App crashes or bugs when trying to change settings or after updates.
- No preview option before recording and lack of control over storage location for recordings.
