The problem is it’s typically more obvious when someone is taking a phone video
Yeah, that phone in my shirt pocket set to record really gets noticed... by exactly nobody.
Yeah, I do this all the time actually. Grocery shopping and the wife wants to FaceTime? Shirt pocket. No one even gives it a first glance, never mind second.
If you use a wide-angle-lense on a samsung, you can be angled 45 degrees away from your target.
All recording devices need to make it abundantly obvious you're recording and have interlocks so that if those ways are defeated, it's noticed and they refuse to record.
