hello foss community!

Does anyone here have experience with background video recording apps? Basically an application where I could start or schedule a recording, and it would silently run in the background and collect the feed from camera, microphone, and ideally, GPS too, effectively turning the smartphone into a body camera without giving any sign on the screen that recording is going on. In order to check / finish the process, one would need to explicitly open the app.

Is there anything open-source of this kind? My primary use-case is recording my trips, but it could also be useful for security-sensitive activities. Real-time cloud synchronization would be nice too, but I guess it’s not such a necessity.

      FadCam looks exactly like what I’m looking for, but looking at the author’s GitHub, it’s a part of fadsec-lab suite, described like:

      FadSec-Lab is a suite of Shariah Compliant, ad-free, privacy-focused open-source apps dedicated to enhancing user security and privacy.

      What exactly is a Shariah compliant app? 99% of the descriptions look great, but I’m unable to interpret this statement. Has anyone used this app?
