V. J. Meyer Posted December 16, 2017 #1 Posted December 16, 2017 Hi everyone, Do you cover your laptop, iPad, PC, MAC and etc. camera? If even, ex FBI Director James Comey urges Americans to cover up their laptop webcam 'for their own safety'.
Upsilon Posted December 16, 2017 #2 Posted December 16, 2017 I dont really cover my camera at the moment since I'm yet to find a sticker that wouldnt damage the lens though from what I hear covering the front camera of your mobile phone is a bigger issue
Moderator ThugStream Posted December 16, 2017 Moderator #3 Posted December 16, 2017 I don't cover my any of the device. I just use the PopSocket for holding on my all devices. Goodluck ThugStream

That seems interesting

That seems interesting Nope its not a phone case just like a Phone Holder which gets fit at the back of your phone. In short, it works like a phone grip

wilberthh Posted December 16, 2017 #9 Posted December 16, 2017 I'm glad my computer don't have any webcam But I never covered my phone camera. I'm not bill gates though so I think it's not a problem
Snike Posted December 16, 2017 #10 Posted December 16, 2017 I cover only my laptop cam... I dont know why, but it cant be wrong Rather be safe when doing them dirty things LOLOL
Snipergangbaby Posted December 16, 2017 #11 Posted December 16, 2017 I cover my laptops webcam. I promise its a good idea. Dont feel silly for doing it and never feel like its pointless. Its far from pointless i assure you.
meislucky Posted December 16, 2017 #12 Posted December 16, 2017 Don't know what to say about this, I'm not really that paranoiac, camera works only if green led opened, not?

Viksen Posted December 16, 2017 #15 Posted December 16, 2017 I don`t cover my laptop`s camera but my daughters do They think that it need for our safety
kulegutten Posted December 16, 2017 #16 Posted December 16, 2017 Nope I don't cover my laptop camera my camera lights on when its being used so I think im safe
Niobium Posted December 16, 2017 #18 Posted December 16, 2017 I do not cover because I do not have Webcam attached, this case reminds me of the testimony of Mark Zuckerberg stating that covers with a sticker to his camera aiming to have more privacy, because he knows the risks.
barbaris Posted December 17, 2017 #19 Posted December 17, 2017 Yes, I close the camera on the laptop. I do not want to be followed. If it's true.
skywallkee Posted December 17, 2017 #20 Posted December 17, 2017 I'm not covering them, but I indeed find it unsafe if you let them uncovered, so I always have my PC camera looking straight up so it will only see the ceiling and so I don't have to always cover/uncover the camera.
kurian Posted December 17, 2017 #21 Posted December 17, 2017 If someone accessing my camera then, the camera light would stay on.. So, i can see it right.. And even it's so, no big deal.. I'm not having sex infront of laptop cam

And even it's so, no big deal.. I'm not having sex infront of laptop cam Even so, the thought of being seen isn't too comfortable. I couldn't resist using my pc/laptop knowing that I'm being followed and every move of mine would be tracked. It's pretty scary.
suresh Posted December 20, 2017 #23 Posted December 20, 2017 Ive disabled the camera on laptop and those people who don't want just remove that settings or app or else buy without camera. Safe security is require for anyone even we shouldn't use our real name in forums.
Mossx Posted December 25, 2017 #24 Posted December 25, 2017 I pretty much never use the webcam on my laptop. I have it covered with opaque tape - permanently, more or less. I did the same with previous laptops.
akki785 Posted December 26, 2017 #25 Posted December 26, 2017 That's why I don't use a laptop. I have a desktop which doesn't have any webcam at all. Problem solved.. LOL..
