Background Recorder is a free Android app developed by ZAAX Consulting PLC, falling under the multimedia category, more specifically, photography. The app allows users to record videos silently in the background while playing games, working on other apps, or even with the screen turned off.

With Background Recorder, you can simply press the app icon and click on the start button, and video recording will begin in the background without showing any preview. To stop the video, you can press the stop icon within the app. The video is saved in the folder '.Background Recorder' and is not shown in the gallery by default. You will need to use a file explorer to access your video.

Moreover, Background Recorder can be used as a car video camera or dashcam to record your drive while using GPS navigation at the same time. It also doubles as a security camera that you can leave in a room, disable the screen, and record while you are gone. The app offers multiple video resolutions, an easy stop button, and videos are not listed in the default gallery app.

Overall, Background Recorder is an easy-to-use app that lets you record videos in the background without any interruption. Its ability to record silently and not show the preview makes it ideal for capturing footage without any attention.
