For those who are suspicious of their girlfriends or other people, you can use the following android camera hack tutorial. With this you can take photos or view activities from the front or rear camera.
Everything you can do only by using Android, but there are conditions that must be met in order to succeed.
In this post, I will show you how to use 2 applications, namely termux and track view.
In short the application will work to control the target android camera. The intermediary is an application that is installed on the target’s android or sends a link to be accessed by the target.
In order not to be curious, let’s just go straight to the tutorial.
How to hack Android camera using termux
For those who are not familiar with this application, you should first learn how to use termux. Because to operate it you have to enter certain commands.
The way it works is that we run the camera hack script in termux to get a link that can be used to access the target camera.
And if the target accesses/clicks on the link, the target android front camera will automatically take a photo and send it to our android.
In this case there are many scripts that can be used, but the most popular is saycheese from thelinux choice.
Here is how to install and use it.
Install the saycheese script
Open the termux application and enter the following command.
termux-setup-storage (lalu pilih izinkan) pkg install git -y pkg install openssh -y pkg install bash -y pkg install php -y pks install wget -y cd /sdcard git clone https://github.com/thelinuxchoice/saycheese
The command cd / sdcard aims to save the photos later on android storage.
sdcard in termux is the same as internal android. So even if android without sdcard or using it it doesn’t matter.
Run the saycheese script
Directly from the current termux position, type the command again
cd saycheese bash saycheese.sh
The saycheese script will run and it will look like the image below.
There are 2 choices of servers that you can use, serveo and ngrok.
Then press the number 1 then press enter to select serveo (easier).
In the option to use a subdomain (y/n) just type n and then press enter.
If confused, see the following picture.
After that the script will process and generate a link that you must send to the target.
Send the link from the saycheese script to the target
This link is like a trap, if you click on it automatically the front camera on the Android will take a photo.
If you don’t believe you can access the link itself. And see the result in the internal storage saycheese folder.
But in this case the internet connection must be active, friends. Otherwise it will fail.
After sending the link, make sure the target also clicks on it. Just influence it with sweet words or your own seduction.
If the direct link doesn’t come out or is empty, try sending the following link
https://localhost:33333333 is the php server port used. if the port used is 8080 then use the link localhost:8080
When the victim accesses the link, a pop up will appear. Tell him to just click allow.
Next the script will display the catch from the front camera in a loop. Press ctrl+z to stop so that the image taken is not too much.
Check the saycheese folder to see the results
Because previously I cloned the script in /sdcard, so the camera hacked file will be stored in android storage in the saycheese folder.
Png shaped photo file with name cam followed by date, example cam10Apr2022.png
If you clone the script not in /sdcard but directly in home termux, then the photo file cannot be seen. Must be moved from the termux directory to the internal android.
The way to move it just write the command mv -f filename.png /sdcard
All hackcam scripts have the same way of working, which is to generate a link and then send it to the target to take over the front camera. The only difference is the author and the view of the visited link.

Termux camera hack script list
To install it, you just need to write the command git clone followed by script address to be installed.
You don’t need to write the pkg install command again because it was already done when you were going to install saycheese.
Here is a list of scripts along with their addresses:
| Script name | Script address |
|---|---|
| Camera coded by rootpoor | https://github.com/Ro0TP00R777Channel/kamera |
| Hackcam | https://github.com/oxlynx/hackcam |
| Hack-Camera | https://github.com/Rusmana-ID/Hack-Kamera |
| Cam-Dumper | https://github.com/LiNuX-Mallu/CAM-DUMPER |
| WishFish v.2.0 | https://github.com/kinghacker0/WishFish |
After successfully installing press ls to display the folder name. Then use the command cd folder name to open it.
Example:
I have Cam-Dumper script installed and after writing ls what appears is a folder named CAM-DUMPER. So to open it must use the command cd CAM-DUMPER.
Meanwhile, to run each of the scripts above, just look for the file ending in .sh and then execute it with the command bash filename.sh press enter.
Spy on android camera using Track View App
I’ve reviewed a bit of one of the uses of this application in the post tracking someone’s location. And in conclusion, track view is an application that can be used for tracking and tapping cameras.
How it works, just install it on your target android and your android, then create an account with gmail and login from both devices.
A little review about the results to be obtained:
- We can see the front and rear cameras live
- We can also listen to the sound from the camera
- We can send sound to the target android without being noticed
Well now we go to how to install and use it.
First ) Install track view (download diplaystore) on the target cellphone and give all the requested permissions.
second ) Create account with gmail account
third ) install track view on your android and do it like the first and second steps
fourth ) Once connected, select the video icon to start tapping the target camera.
When you successfully access the target camera, there will be a menu on the left that you can use, including:
- adjust lighting
- turn on/off flash light
- switch front to back camera and vice versa
- record video
- shrink screen
While the menu on the right (push to talk) is for sending voice. The trick is simply to hold the button and then talk and to send just release the button.
Using the track view application will drain the battery on both devices. For the solution, you can buy a premium package or just hack it with lucky patcher.
Conclusion
Using termux is a less effective way because it is required to send a link and make the target have to click and give access permission.
This will make the target suspicious and of course your action can fail. But if you are good at influencing other people, this method will be successful even if it’s just a photo you get.
For more satisfying results, you can use the track view application, but the condition must be installed on both androids.
So that the victim does not suspect, you can remove the application icon with another application.
Okay, so is a tutorial that might be useful for you. If possible, this trick can be used to take the face of a fraudster.
So share with others to make it more useful, thanks for reading!
