      I recently purchased one of your camera RLC-423, and wanted to use your Mobile app, but I was shocked by the device access permission needed. Some I kind of understand, but most of them, I don’t and before I go ahead and install your app, I would like you to clarify the needs for those access rights…

      Version 2.1.12.4 can access:
      Device & app history
      • retrieve running apps
      • WHY?

      Cellular data settings
      • change/intercept network settings and traffic
      WHY?
      •
      Identity
      • find accounts on the device
      WHY?

      Contacts
      • find accounts on the device
      WHY?

      Location
      • precise location (GPS and network-based)
      • approximate location (network-based)
      WHY?

      Photos/Media/Files
      • access USB storage filesystem
      • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
      • read the contents of your USB storage
      OK… and WHY?

      Storage
      • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
      • read the contents of your USB storage
      OK… and WHY?

      Camera
      • take pictures and videos
      WHY?

      Microphone
      • record audio
      WHY?

      Wi-Fi connection information
      • view Wi-Fi connections
      WHY?

      Other
      • receive data from Internet WHY?
      • change screen orientation WHY?
      • power device on or off WHY?
      • prevent device from sleeping WHY?
      • change network connectivity WHY?
      • connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi WHY?
      • view network connections WHY?
      • run at startup OK…
      • control vibration OK…
      • full network access WHY?
      • change system display settings OK…
      • disable your screen lock WHY?
      • read Google service configuration WHY?
      • control flashlight WHY?

      Could you please explain WHY your app would need all of the above access?

      Thank you
