  This is a good description of the problem - kinda from both sides. Thank you! But based on this, wouldn't the right defense be to insist for some camera feed? 1) Most phones have a camera now - besides the plausible excuse of the candidate's computer not having a working one. 2) When no camera is working, it usually shouldn't be a big problem to postpose the interview for a few days. The time for a camera solution to be procured by the candidate. 3) For an extra test of the candidate being able to engineer their way around a broken or missing camera in less than a week.

    How would a camera determine their place of residence?

      Of course. The conversations point out that one frequent problem is the hiring process managed, interviewed and finally filled by different persons. Place of residence is a different issue. Many people connect behind a VPN. A video feed during the interview would at least hint at the time zone they are in. Third different issue is right to work in the US. This is an issue you have even in person in the US. Solved with legal documents. Social Security card, green card, US passport... then tax ID, then ongoing tax filings by the employer - Which may be a little easy to forge when presented in pictures but seem to still be sufficient legally. (And here camera helps with "person doesn't match ID".) Anyway. You are right! Camera solves only part of the problem.
