Only first time you turn on the camera? It should call activated/register camera. No related to prevent theft.

Theft didn't turn on camera 24 hour.

In other words, after theft stole your camera, the camera still can turn on/off without authentication (not yet reach 24 hours since last authentication). So, theft able sell to other people/shop without issue.

Buyer (especially novice) may only check the camera can photography without issue.

Or Every 24 hours need authentication? It only means authentication screen will popup (regardless playback/capture photo), very annoying.

I apologise, I don’t understand that. But in any case, it’s quite straightforward to implement an authentication process that doesn’t interrupt operation.

All kind authentication method require extra steps of consumer :

  • Face ID - require consumer look at Face ID camera
  • Keyin password - require consumer key-in password via small screen
  • Apple Watch - require pairing or link Apple Watch to camera.
  • Finger print scanner - require put finger to shutter button.
