Could anyone comment about this issue in mobile devices? On Desktop one can get suspicious when the LED of the Webcam blinks but on Mobile Phones, the camera is a completely silent watcher. And it is shocking to imagine how we carry around our mobile devices everywhere compared to desktops and laptops.
- Tichy 14y agoI'm sure it exists, or will come into existence. Why not? Challenges might be slower connection speed.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoOoh, and mobile phones have less security-concious users and often no AV software. Seems like a major oversight. On that note, Japanese law requires cameraphones sold there to always make a loud shutter sound upon taking a picture, to prevent voyeurism etc. This is why the Nintendo 3DS handheld console's shutter sound can't be silenced.
- brndn 14y agoSame goes for the camera on the Sprint GS3.
- kamme 14y agoYes, a led that lights up does sound pretty suspicious to you and me, but if you don't know anything about computers and you see it on all the time it becomes natural. The same phenomena as clicking 'yes' and 'ok' buttons without reading anything.
