SiteSecure - Campus Camera Blocking

Satish Shetty Updated by Satish Shetty

We've introduced the anticipated location based mobile policies also known as Geofencing. With this feature an administrator can define multiple geographical regions within the Codeproof console and apply the mobile policies to devices in those regions. When the device is identified within the defined region boundary the regional restricted policies defined by the administrator get enforced automatically. Similarly, when the device goes out of the region the policy reverts back automatically.

The following is a list of applicable policies.

1. Disable or block camera in the certain geographical area. The administrator can block the phones camera automatically inside company campus, as an example. With this feature un-authorized users or devices will be unable use the camera to take pictures or video, which helps prevents data leakage and theft.

2. Notify administrator via email or SMS when the device enters or exits a specified region.

Currently, this feature is available for all the Android and iOS-based devices. To enable Geofencing please update to the latest version of the Codeproof App installed on the device.
