What is 'covert recording'?

Covert recording means secretly filming or audio recording without the subject's knowledge or consent. In the context of smart glasses, it's particularly concerning because the recording device is so discreet, making it difficult for people to know they are being filmed. This raises questions about privacy and consent.
