Android app "using permissions in the background" ?

[NVR990]

This morning I got a notification on my Android phone that Blue Iris was using "microphone" permissions in the background.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

See attached screenshot from phone

I also received a notification that my Android Blue Iris app was using my microphone in the background, even though I did not initiate use of that feature.

Thanks for letting me know, wizen. I am surprised that this issue is not of greater concern on the forum.

have you emailed support?
if it was a hikvision app reporting back to china there would be cause for concern. Do you think the blue iris app is spying on you? if so, I suggest you delete the app as well as the server software because that could not only be passing audio but all your video as well.
