Thread: Why no physical protection for laptop webcams?


so, talking friends other day how flash can have access webcam , how reliable cam led in letting know if using cam @ you. agreed simple solution paranoid webcams have physical cap on lens can open , close, normal cameras had.

hit me... not useful paranoid, it? cam lens dusty time, not mention risk of grain of sand of screwing lens when close lid (ok, ok, long stretch, never heard happening someone, it's still possibible). sliding cap simple add cam, why no hardware manufacturer ever thought it?

inconvience users have 1 step , cost reasons more likely.
