Security Camera

Security Camera is a handy tool if you share your computer with others and want to keep track of who’s using it and when. This software is like having your own little security guard for your Mac!

How It Works

This app runs quietly in the background. Every time someone uses the keyboard, moves the mouse, or taps the trackpad, it automatically takes a photo using the built-in camera. The default resolution for these pictures is 640x480, so you’ll get a clear image of who’s accessing your computer.

Easy Access to Settings

You can find an icon for Security Camera on your status bar. Clicking on it opens up the Preferences window where you can customize how the app works. Want it to start up every time you log in? You can set that! You can also choose to show a message when it launches or even add password protection.

Customizing Idle Time

You can decide how long the app waits before it starts taking photos. Choose from options like 30 seconds, 1 minute, or even longer periods like 15 or 30 minutes using an easy slide bar.

Password Protection

If you set up password protection, just remember—you’ll need that passcode to view, copy, or delete any of those captured photos!

Dropbox Synchronization

And here’s something cool: if you turn on Dropbox sync and someone steals your Mac, there's a good chance you'll get a photo of them trying to use your computer! How awesome is that?

Conclusion

In short, Security Camera offers an easy way to monitor who accesses your device at all times. It keeps things simple while giving you peace of mind about your privacy.
