Paranoia Lens Cap

thingiverse

There's growing concern about who might be watching you by hacking into your webcam. Popular TV shows and movies make it seem like this is a common or easy thing to do with just a few clicks. Recent email scams claim to be recording every move you make, demanding a bitcoin ransom payment. Just unplug your camera if it's the 9000 Pro type. This is a more elegant solution. Every camera should have a lens cap. This one fits the 9000 Pro perfectly, which I happen to own two of. It measures about 40MM in diameter x 25MM deep with a 30MM slot. It stays put on its own. It's simple to design using FUSION360 if you need a different size or shape. If you're worried about your laptop webcam, just cover the lens with some tape.
