SiteSecure® - Campus camera blocking

Codeproof offers SiteSecure®, a campus camera blocking solution which disables smartphone camera functionality within a defined geographic area. Using geofencing technologies based on GPS, WiFi networks and BLE beacons hardware, IT administrators can define multiple geographical regions from the Codeproof console.

How it works

When a device enters a defined region, camera blocking policies are automatically enforced on it. Similarly, when a device moves beyond the region boundary, the geofencing policies are automatically revoked. IT administrators are automatically notified of any attempts to tamper with the phone hardware or software. The current status of this feature can be verified anytime by opening the Codeproof app on the device.

SiteSecure® works on both BYOD and corporate-owned devices. It also works on all versions of Android, iPhone, and iPad devices. This is an entirely automated solution and does not need any manual intervention. The solution has two components: the cloud based Codeproof Admin console and the Codeproof app installed on the device.

SiteSecure® has successfully been implemented on thousands of employee devices at the Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Factory in Central Mexico.

Where geofenced camera blocking matters most

Smartphone cameras at sensitive facilities create real risk: pre-release product photos, classified-area exposure, patient privacy incidents, exam-room cheating, intellectual-property leaks. SiteSecure® uses geofencing - GPS, Wi-Fi network fingerprinting, and BLE beacons - to enforce camera blocking automatically the moment a device enters a defined zone.

Manufacturing & R&D

SiteSecure® capabilities

  • Multi-zone geofencing: define any number of circular or polygonal zones from the Codeproof console
  • Three location signals: GPS, Wi-Fi network fingerprinting, and BLE beacons - use one or combine for accuracy and indoor coverage
  • BYOD and corporate device support: works on personal phones via the work profile and on fully managed company devices
  • Cross-platform: iOS, iPadOS, and Android - all major OEMs
  • Tamper alerts: any attempt to bypass camera blocking or disable the agent triggers an admin notification
  • Audit logs: every zone entry, exit, and policy enforcement is timestamped for compliance reporting
  • Automatic restore: camera is automatically re-enabled when the device leaves the zone
  • Zero user interaction: fully automated - no app to open, no toggle to flip

SiteSecure FAQs

How accurate is the geofence?
Outdoor GPS geofencing is typically accurate to within 5-10 meters. Indoor zones can use Wi-Fi network names or BLE beacons for room-level precision. You can combine signals to balance accuracy and battery life.
Does SiteSecure drain the battery?
The agent uses platform-efficient location APIs (Apple Significant Location Change, Android FusedLocationProvider) and BLE scanning patterns that minimize battery impact. In typical deployments, users do not notice additional drain.
Can SiteSecure block other hardware features, not just the camera?
Yes. Inside a zone you can also block the microphone, screenshots, screen recording, USB peripherals, and clipboard - and enforce additional policies like Wi-Fi-only mode or app allow / deny lists.
What happens if a user tries to disable the agent?
The Codeproof agent runs as a device admin / MDM-managed app. Disabling it requires unenrollment, which triggers an immediate admin alert and (on fully managed devices) a remote lock.
Does this work on BYOD?
Yes. SiteSecure can run inside the Android work profile or via iOS User Enrollment, enforcing camera blocking only when work apps / accounts are active in the defined zone. Personal photos and personal use outside the zone are unaffected.
