HOW TO EasyDisabl​e CAM/Mic

It's convenient to have integrated Camera/Mic on some Thinkpads. One suggestion for improved privacy here (or if it exists, please let me know. Thanks!)
Scenario: Skype is working with Cam/Mic on. Skype (or other cam/mic software) crashes -- not too surprising on a Vista. Camera is left on with the green LED light on! The camera and mic will remain on until next reboot ...
Concern: There is obvious privacy concern on such behavior. Is there an easy way to disable camera/mic, just like there is one button to disable wireless (for security and flight safety, for example).
Thanks.

mmmh I hope that this thread about solving the problem of the microphone which wouldn?t work under windows 7 might be helpful for some people...

  • SWFLoader in Air can't access Camera/Mic?

    I have a Flex swf file I'm loading into an Air 1.5 app that does a video chat. Flex app standalone in a browser works fine, but when loaded into the Air app  by SWFLoader, it can not stream cam/mic. logging shows it successfully connecting streams and running localVideo.publish(name).
    Is this a security issue or something that is going make me cringe?
    Really need an answer, any help appreciated,
    Greg

    When loading SWFs inside a Flex/AIR app, you can see restrictions depending on how each SWF was compiled, and what resources it is trying to access.
    See these Flex Builder help sys pages, or LiveDocs for more info:

  • Camera & Mic Settings by site

    Question -  In Flash 10.3, if I go into Control Panel in either XP or Win7, and set the Camera & Mic to ALLOW for a specific site, then does that get applied to all Windows user profiles?  So for example as different users log into Windows on the same machine and they launch or go to that site, is the microphone already set to "Allow" for them - because I already set it in Control Panel?   Or is it still profile specific and are they going to get prompted the first time they go to that site?
    So in essence, by allowing a site to use the Mic in the Global Settings in Control Panel, is that global for all users then who log into that machine?

    Hi kr00zn,
    Pat is (as usual) correct--I checked with a member of the engineering team, and received the following response:
    "Yes, currently the setting only applies to the current user account. It does not affect the Cam/Mic setting for all user accounts on the machine. If you want to affect settings for all user accounts, you should use the mms.cfg file."
    If you are interested in using the mms.cfg file to affect settings for all accounts on a particular machine, you can find information on how to do that at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html.

  • Camera mic?

    Hi,
    I have a logitech mic with the standard pink plug, which I've learned is apparently incompatible with the G5.
    So I'm wondering if there's someway I can use my camera's mic as a mic until such time as I purchase a USB mic of some sort. I know the camera mic works fine for capturing live audio in Quicktime and FCP. Is it possible to use the camera mic as a "plain old mic" as well? If so, how? I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe it's just too late...
    Thanks!

    What kind of camera do you have, and how does it attach to the G5?
    Plug it in, turn it on (if it has a power switch), go to System Preferences, Sound, Input, and see if it's auto-detected as an input source. If so, you should be able to record sound from it.

  • How to connect my camera on mac book?

    how to connect my camera on my mac book?

    Usually an appropriate cable, and other items are
    included in the retail box a camera arrived in, so
    there should be instructions by that manufacturer
    to most suitably attach the camera to a Mac or PC.
    Usually the computer will automatically detect the
    camera when attached by USB cable; the Mac will
    offer to use iPhoto or another application, to view
    and handle image processing; or you could choose
    to select a different application, or none at all.
    For my Macs and two cameras, I do not have iPhoto
    handle the images and I choose third-party software
    because I don't make libraries of images in the Mac.
    However depending on the computer and the camera
    the Mac may already have sufficient drivers already
    installed; so a software installation from a CD from the
    camera maker may not be needed in order to use it.
    Since your question is rather wide and gives no info
    as to what you have, the replies are also generalized.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to restore the Camera App./Icon that comes with the iPhone ?

    I accidentally deleted my Camera app icon when I was rearranging icons on my iPhone 4S. Since it's a "standard feature" and not an "App" from the App store I cannot find out how to "resinstall" what came with your phone as standard feature. Yet, I can perform a search for Camera and have it come up and use it but I cannot locate it in a folder or even when I'm plugged in to the iTunes on my iMac to see all the apps. on the screen. What gives? Please don't tell me to restore my phone b/c for this one little app., it just seems like there should be an easier way to add it back to my home screen. Please and thanks!

    It can't be deleted. It either got moved to another page or into a folder.
    As for the "support icon", press and hold the icon till all icons begin to wiggle. You can then press the X on the icon to delete it. Press the home button when you are finished.

  • How do I access camera raw from withing Lightroom

    Bear with me as I am new at this. I am trying lightroom and have read several reviews of 1.1 and Camera Raw 4.1. I read Martin Evening's update on 1.1 and he has a whole section on using CR to make adjustments to the raw file.
    I imported several raw images in nef and dng formats into lightroom. I cannot see any way to open Camera Raw from any of the menues in lightroom. Could someone tell me how I get to Camera Raw 4.1 from within lightroom?
    I have no problem accessing the image in Camera Raw from Bridge. It was my understanding that you do not need Bridge, just Lightroom to use Camera Raw.

    ACR operates as a plugin within Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and does not operate on its own.
    Lightroom is a separate software program which incorporates the ACR conversion processes for working with raw files. It does not require your having Photoshop installed on your computer.
    I think Adobe has created a lot of the confusion in re naming the program "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" from the earlier name of "Adobe Lightroom" since it is not a part of Photoshop.

  • How do I access Camera Raw Plug-in for PSE 11?

    I can't figure out how to access the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop Elements 11 ( on a Macbook Pro OSX.)  I recently installed  PSE 11, and when I select "about plug-in" within the app, it brings up a box that shows version 7.1.0.354.  Does that mean it's already installed?  If so, how do I access it to edit a photo? In past PSE versions I simply chose "Open file / as Camera Raw" but that option doesn't come up.

    In the File Open dialog ensure you have All Readable Documents selected for Enable.

  • How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files ?

    How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files? Thanks

    CS5 does not support ACR 8.5, it only goes as far as 6.7.
    You will need to convert your raw files to DNG format with the free converter. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html

  • How cn I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    How can I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    Camera Raw is not a separate application that can be identified and used separately from Photosho. It is a plug-in that is accessed from Photoshop or Bridge or Photoshop Elements. When you attempt to open a raw image the plug-in is activated if it is able to recognize the files created by the camera you used. However, support must be provided for every individual camera model. Updates must be provided with this new support. The latest version of Camera Raw that can be used with Photoshop CS5 is Camera Raw 6.7. You can find out what version of Camera Raw is installed by going to the help menu in Photoshop and then clicking on plug-ins->Camera Raw. If the version that is reported is older than 6.7 then you can click on help->updates and obtain an installation of the last version of Camera Raw you can use. If your camera is newer than what was supported in Camera Raw 6.7 then you will have to use the DNG converter or purchase Photoshop CS6, or subscribe to the creative cloud photography plan ($9.99/month).
