Private Video 2.0.0.109

Preserve the privacy of the videos stored onto your phone with a secure application
Protecting personal information and ensuring the security of files stored onto mobile devices is a concern for many users. Those who want to lock the video recording they make using their Windows Phone handsets have a few alternatives at hand.

One of them goes by the name of Private Video and it may be a true helper for anyone who is on the lookout for a straightforward method of shielding videos inside a secure vault.

Cool looks for a practical front-end

The interface of this app has a smooth appearance and going through the menus and lists of items kept inside is seamless. Also, the graphics are well designed, with a decent aspect on the whole that is consistent throughout the application.

The main functions and commands can be easily reached from the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen, while the live view when recording the videos is responsive and fluent. Also, the playback quality is very good, without glitches of other kind of issues.

Security options at a glance

Private Video is bent on making sure your video clips stay private no one else but you can view them, so it enables you even from the first run to set up a numeric password for accessing the app.

Another option is to draw a pattern and use this method to log into the utility. The application also provides a password recovery method and you will have to supply a valid email address for this purpose.

One of the best features of this app is the possibility to create a decoy account, with a custom access pattern or password. Having this option active means that if someone forces you to log in, you can use the fake passcode and show them you have nothing stored inside.

Video capture and importing features

Creating albums inside which you can keep the videos is easy and you have two possibilities to add content. The first one is to choose the clips from your cloud storage, namely from OneDrive, while the other involves making new recordings, as the app can use the phone's camera for this purpose.

However, logging in to the cloud storage service might prove impossible, so this method is unusable. Also, there are some restrictions related to the trial version, more precisely you cannot make more than 2 albums with at most 2 videos inside for each of them.
