Abstract
Provided are a communication device having a built-in camera and a system and method of detecting a communication device having a built-in camera. In the system, a communication device can transmit camera existence data or particular identification data thereof, and in response thereto, a detection device can suspend a camera function of the communication device when a user with the communication device enters a security zone. In addition, the detection device can recover the camera function when the user with the communication device exits the security zone.
