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.

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.

  • Low tech can give you guarantees that so called hi tech will never be able to give you. That's why nothing can beat voting with pen and paper transparency-wise, for instance.
