The invention relates to the technical field of internet, and discloses a detection method and device for camera interface initiating, and terminal equipment. The method comprises the following steps: generating an application camera interface list; detecting whether an initiated foreground application interface is in the application camera interface list, if so, determining the foreground application interface as a camera interface. Through the implementation of the embodiment of the invention, a detection mechanism for the camera interface initiating is provided to effectively detect the camera interface initiating.
