I would like to turn off the Webcam light for all circumstances when the webcam is running. I have tried configuring the settings to "off" for motion detection and remote monitoring, but to no avail. Is there a registry switch I can flip somewhere or any other solution that someone knows of?

Thank you

The light is a security feature to prevent unauthorized recording. It can't be turned off when the camera is sending data to the computer. – Chris Nava Aug 9 '10 at 5:04
I was wondering...that explains why they don't even give me the option of turning it off – nrhine1 Aug 21 '10 at 21:59

As mentioned before, if you CAN do this via software, consider it a bug. A piece of black tape is your best bet if its the LIGHT that's bothering you.
