Privacy Feature

What we liked the most about this camera is the Privacy Switch that can be used to cover the lens when you are not using it. To turn off the webcam when it is not in use, slide the switch to the right until a red dot appears in the center of the camera’s lens.

When using the webcam for face recognition login, online conferences, streaming, or online learning, slide the switch to the left.

This webcam provides anti-hacking & anti-spoofing features. The infrared camera that we have mentioned earlier also provides reliable privacy against unauthorized access. For example, a user enters their own biometric identification to access the device-specific credentials, so a hacker cannot connect in to the device unless they have the PIN. Moreover, photos failed to pass the Windows Hello Anti-spoofing mechanism’s authentication test, in fact, it will block the hacker immediately.
