  • This is not possible as the BackgroundTasks doesnt contain Video as a Task. Following tasks are capable of having background operations 1: Audio 2: VOIP 3: Location Services – thoughtbreaker Apr 03 '13 at 11:04

No this is not possible. There's no other way to achieve this.

  • Thank you for your answer. So that we can't do this in iOS application. But, some apps are providing the video recording in black screen mode. How they are doing that? Could you please help me? Ex: SpyCam : Stealth Video Camera. Thanks. – Yuvaraj.M Apr 03 '13 at 10:00
  • SpyCam is not on App Store. It works only on Jail Break phones. – Rushi Apr 03 '13 at 10:04

In some countries it's against the law to even take picture without sound effect, such as Japan for example. No wonder Apple don't allow to shoot pictures from locked screen.
