这种手机壳，可能正在偷拍你！紧急提醒

近日，话题“小心这种手机壳正在偷拍你的隐私”登上热搜，引发网友热议。

Recent online discussions have drawn attention to a new type of smartphone accessory, the so-called "refractive phone case", over its potential use for covert recording.

据央视新闻，最近，一款名为“折射手机壳”的产品在电商平台上热销，它外观看上去与普通手机壳无异，售价却要300到800元，远高于普通手机壳的价格。

According to a report by China Central Television, the cases are being sold on e-commerce platforms for 300 to 800 yuan, significantly more than standard phone cases.

这款手机壳为何售价偏高？其核心是在手机摄像头对应位置加装了一块小型棱镜，借助光线折射原理，可以拍摄到侧面场景。如果再搭配对应的功能设置，手机熄屏之后，依旧可以持续录像。

Their key feature is a small prism installed next to the camera lens. Using the principle of light refraction, the prism redirects light into the camera, allowing the phone to record from a different angle than the direction it is facing. When paired with certain app settings, the phone can continue recording even when the screen is turned off, making the product potentially useful for covert filming.

有商家向记者直言，这类产品的一个重要用途，就是偷拍。商家介绍，手机可以平放、侧放，镜头朝着别处，实际拍摄的却是另一个方向。

Some merchants told reporters that the products are primarily intended for covert surveillance. Depending on how the phone is positioned, such as lying flat or on its side, the camera can be pointed in one direction while capturing footage from another.

在手机摄像头外部加装棱镜后，拍摄的画面边缘处会呈现一道模糊的黑边。对此，商家表示，通过放大画面，可以尽量把黑边裁掉。

有商家介绍，这类“折射手机壳”不仅能用于偷拍，还能被用作牌局作弊工具。

记者在电商平台检索发现，同类小尺寸光学棱镜单独销售时，价格通常只有几十元。若直接输入关键词，无法直接搜索到相关产品。但若换一种关键词变体，一些商品仍然能够被搜索到。这些商品的销售十分隐晦，产品页面往往只有简单的图片，不介绍具体功能和用途。

The prism components themselves typically cost only several dozen yuan. While searches for the phone cases using ordinary product terms may yield no results, the cases can still be found using alternative or coded search terms. They are often listed with minimal product descriptions and without explicitly stating their functions.

生产、销售和使用均涉嫌违法

中国政法大学副教授朱巍表示，在日常生活中，几乎不存在需要隐形拍摄侧面内容的合理场景，生产销售者和使用者的行为可能构成非法生产、销售、使用窃听窃照专用器材罪。

Legal experts have raised concerns about the potential misuse of such devices. Zhu Wei, an associate professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, said there is virtually no legitimate everyday use that would require a device capable of secretly recording from a side angle. He warned that the manufacture, sale, or use of such devices could constitute the illegal production or distribution of surveillance equipment and may result in criminal liability under Chinese law.

除了直接销售成品，记者还发现，市场上出现了另一种更加“迂回”的销售方法——卖半成品。一套产品被拆成手机壳、镜头盖和棱镜分别发货，再由买家自行组装。商家甚至会指导消费者购买胶水，告诉买家棱镜应该粘在哪里、朝什么方向安装。部分商品页面会特意标上一句“禁止用于偷拍”。对此，朱巍表示，拆开卖依旧违法，声称不能用于偷拍也不能免责。
