I'd assume this is done in firmware for the camera module?
- goldfishlover 6y agoI still prefer a hardware solution or even a toggle, 1\2 the reason I like the cover is less for privacy and more to prevent joining meetings with the camera on when I'm not ready removes the need to always be thinking about some random indicator being on or off
- ehavener 6y agoI'm guessing the light is part of the camera's power circuit. I don't think this would work for photos, though.
- chrisjshull 6y agoDo camera modules need power? Could the LED be wired in series to the camera module voltage in wire?
- valuearb 6y agoHard wired to Camera power supply, no firmware necessary.
