Sing it!

As for the software. I would not want a camera on 24/7 (on any device, a compromise being my doorbell, which isn't cloud connected). It'd defeat the small LED which informs you it is on (since it is always-on), and if the machine is compromised this is a method to receive personal data.

Actually, I'd prefer a hardware killswitch on things like camera and microphone.

Post-It makes an excelent kill switch for the camera. not effective for audio though
