Awhile ago there was news story about a woman who caught thieves by using a camera in her house that connected to the Internet and sent her video feed. Good idea. Internet cameras can be purchased cheaply and quickly installed. Even baby cams can work well for snooping.
On the flip side, if your computer has a built-in camera. keep it covered. People can hack into your camera and spy on you. They watch you type if you are not careful. This especially applies to support people. When you call a company like HP or Gateway, concerning problems with installing something such as a printer, they can tap into your computer and without you knowing it, link to you video cam. Bad business. They can steal all of the money in your online accounts.
Remember this: always cover yourself.
