Newer Macs will also require the light to come on for a lot least a few seconds when the camera activates.

That sounds like the led is controlled by logic, instead of being in the power loop.

You could connect the led to a capacitor, which would be charged when camera is connected to power, and would discharge powering the led for a few more seconds after power is disconnected.

But yeah, I wouldn’t trust a led, because I can’t reverse engineer the circuit that’s in my particular device.

Who enforces that requirement?
