Xiaomi's HyperOS 2.0 To Feature Hidden Camera Detection For Enhanced User Privacy
A New OS Update will identify hidden cameras using WLAN signals, increasing security for Xiaomi users
In order to improve user security and privacy, Xiaomi plans to include a big new feature in HyperOS 2.0, its next operating system. Xiaomi devices will apparently be able to identify hidden cameras via WLAN-based searches thanks to a feature that has been disclosed before to the product's official release. This feature uses WLAN signals to find and detect concealed cameras in the immediate vicinity, protecting users from potential surveillance risks in strange places.
This functionality works similarly to an application named Ingram that can be found on GitHub that uses WLAN signals to find hidden cameras. Xiaomi devices can alert users to potential surveillance dangers by looking for anomalous WLAN signals and establishing profiles for specific concealed camera kinds. With this release, Xiaomi continues to demonstrate its dedication to improving user safety and privacy.
There are great hopes for even more performance gains and user-tailored functionality, after the positive welcome of HyperOS 1.0, which took the place of MIUI 14, for the October 2024 release of HyperOS 2.0. Xiaomi has demonstrated its commitment to addressing the growing concerns over digital privacy with the implementation of concealed camera detection.
More information regarding HyperOS 2.0 and its features should become available closer to the release date of this significant advancement in Xiaomi's operating system.
