Just curious, why is a camera considered somehow more privacy invading than a microphone? I would rather like to have physical switch for mike. I don’t really care if someone sees my ugly mug picking boogers. Listening in on business discussions in the next room over is another story. Let alone the contents of the machine itself or the rest of the network that “they” probably already have if they are capable of turning cameras on and off.

I think in a work environment that makes sense. However as a average person sitting on home watching netflix with questionable amount of clothing on, what I say barely matters, but what the camera sees can be extremely privacy violating.

People are more worried about the camera turning on unexpectedly than they are about hearing something they weren't supposed to.

In my case, this is actually happening right now :) In the view of several potentially hacked cameras. But I still don't care at all about that image leaking somewhere. But I still prefer to step outside the room when discussing personal information over phone.
