Ask HN: Web Cam Security Issues
Ask HN: Does it make sense to provide for physical lens-covers on built-in web-cams?
-- This would seem to be a cheap, hack-proof security measure.
- runjake 14y agoIt would either break off or get lost, unless you want to jack up the pricing of the webcam. It's best just to tilt it upwards in the case of external webcams, or put a piece of sticky note (doesn't leave a residue) over an internal webcam.
- 001sky 14y agoGood points, but what if it was flat and secured to just swivel out of the way? For example might, make a flat ultra-minimalist design. Nothing to get lost, ultra-low profile, etc. Similar idea to this concept. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31svMawjKxL._SL500_SS500_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31svMawjKxL._SL500_SS5...
