Camera & settings

Camera off. Start explicitly to request browser permission.

Scope, limits & privacy

Compares a 64×48 greyscale frame at up to five samples/second. Score is the percentage of pixels changing by more than 20/255 relative to the previous sample; threshold determines the change indicator. Lighting, camera movement and compression can trigger it. Optional quiet beeps require explicit enabling, have a three-second cooldown and stop on exit. Active-session experiment only: no unattended security guarantee, recording or remote alerts.

HTTPS or localhost and browser camera permission are required. Facing direction and dimensions are preferences; delivered settings are shown. No camera history or uploads. Hidden tabs stop capture, and Reset, switching or exit releases captures, workers, URLs and tracks.

Is camera access automatic?

No. Press Start camera and grant browser permission. Facing direction and resolution are preferences. Denied, unavailable and delayed permission states are handled explicitly; late cancelled streams are stopped.

What happens when I stop or hide the page?

Stop and hidden tabs end camera capture, cancel pending countdowns/sequences and release optional sound. Completed captures remain available in the current page. Reset, workspace switching and page exit discard them and revoke application URLs. Downloaded files remain under your control.
