Bypass led Webcam - invisibleman - Feb 17, 2014
There's a way to bypass the LED indicator of some Webcams?

There is no way to bypass this, sorry.

In some webcams, you can turn off the LED in the Registry. Though not all.

Honestly, no. Not natively. Not that I'm aware of anyways. This goes in "Beginner Hacking" by the way. In order for this t happen, you'd have to patch and flash software to keep it off...

It depends, but not generally. See: http://www.uniea.com/blog/424/researchers-discover-isight-camera-hack-that-bypasses-led-indicator

I find some function in registry to turn off this option, but don't works. Or maybe there's some way to bypass this using ASM or editing the driver of Webcam.

I believe it's generally pretty advanced.

I read about this and it IS possible.... If you can write drivers yourself ;-) I'm pretty certain that most webcam drivers are generic, hence the LED. Idk, sounds like s job for a programmer - and a really good one at that.
