Method for detecting camera of mobile terminal and system

The invention discloses a method for detecting a camera of mobile terminal and a system. The method comprises the following steps that: a computer detects an access state of the mobile terminal, if a condition that the mobile terminal accesses is detected, a camera detection drive software module is downloaded and stored on the mobile terminal; the mobile terminal controls the camera of the mobile terminal to acquire image data by using the camera detection drive software module, and further, uploads the image data to the computer; and the computer displays the image data on display equipment of the computer, and further, detects the camera according to the displayed image data. Through downloading the camera detection drive software module in an RAM (Random Access Memory) of the mobile terminal from the computer, further, displaying the image data acquired by the camera detection drive software module on a monitor of the computer in an amplifying manner, in the method and the system, disclosed by the invention, the problems that the testing of the camera of the mobile terminal is long in time and is low in efficiency, further, the cost for the testing is higher through using auxiliary detecting tools can be solved.
