CamTag is completely adhesive-free and reusable, making it an eco-friendly way to protect your privacy. take a look at the video below or read through our easy-to-follow instructions.

how to apply CamTag

1. make sure the surface around your device’s camera is clean and dry, with no dust, fingerprints or cleaning-detergent residue. 
2. choose a sticker size that best fits your camera area from the CamTag set. 
3. carefully peel the CamTag from the transparent film and place it directly over the camera area or next to it if you prefer to keep the camera uncovered while still keeping the sticker nearby. 
   
4. press down gently for a few seconds so the adhesive-free film makes solid contact.
5. now your camera is covered and protected until you’re ready to use it again.

how to remove

1. when you want to use the camera, gently lift the CamTag by using your fingernail or slip a thin sheet of paper between the film and the device surface to avoid any damage. 
2. after removal, store the CamTag on the side of your device (so it’s still attached but not covering the camera) or in its original packaging – this will keep the film clean for reuse. 
   
3. the removal causes no residue thanks to the adhesive-free film used in CamTag. 

how to reuse

1. you can reuse your CamTag many times — the film is designed for repeated applications and removals. 
2. to maximize reuse: keep both the sticky side of the CamTag and the device surface free of dust. If it gets dusty, you can rinse the sticker carefully with cold water, let it fully dry, and it’s ready again. 
   
3. always apply on a smooth surface for best adhesion and longevity.
   
   

In today's interconnected world, the convenience of built-in cameras on laptops, tablets, and smartphones comes with significant privacy risks. Incidents of unauthorized camera access have been reported, highlighting the need for proactive measures to safeguard personal privacy.

Real-World Incidents of Unauthorized Camera Access

Stalkers Using Bugging Devices and Spyware

In 2018, The Guardian reported that stalkers were employing bugging devices and spyware to monitor their victims. These tools allowed perpetrators to remotely activate victims' devices, including cameras, to gather personal information without consent. Victims' groups warned that such monitoring devices and tracking software were readily available for purchase on popular websites, raising concerns about the ease with which individuals could invade others' privacy.

Zoom's Security Flaws

In 2022, The Guardian highlighted a security flaw in Zoom's Mac application that allowed hackers to bypass protections and potentially install malware with superuser privileges. This vulnerability could have enabled unauthorized access to users' devices, including their cameras. The issue was discovered by security researcher Patrick Wardle and was presented at the DEF CON hacking conference. Zoom responded promptly by issuing a patch to fix the vulnerability, urging Mac users to update their applications to safeguard against potential exploits.

Facebook's Password Storage Breach

In 2019, BBC News reported that Facebook admitted to storing millions of Instagram passwords in plain text. While the focus was on password security, this incident underscored broader concerns about unauthorized access to personal data, including camera feeds. The breach raised questions about the adequacy of security measures in protecting user information and highlighted the potential risks of unauthorized access to personal devices.

Why Using covering the cameras on your devices Is Essential

Given these concerns, it's prudent to take proactive measures to protect your privacy. One effective solution is covering the cameras on your devices with CamTag. CamTag is a reusable, adhesive-free privacy cover designed for laptop, tablet, and phone cameras. At just 0.1 mm thick, it meets Apple's MacBook specifications, ensuring a perfect fit without any risk of damaging your screen. Easy to remove when you need to record and put back into place when you're done, CamTag helps you maintain control over your camera access.

In conclusion, while technology offers numerous benefits, it's essential to remain vigilant about privacy risks. Using tools like CamTag can help safeguard your personal space from unauthorized surveillance.

Apple has rolled out a software update for iPhones and iPads in response to the discovery of a significant security flaw. Installing this update is essential for safeguarding your device against spying attacks.

The security vulnerability was identified by researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, who have reported that hackers are "actively exploiting" this weakness. As a precautionary measure, all users are strongly advised to update their devices immediately.

Hackers are breaking into devices via the commercial software Pegasus, developed and sold by the Israeli company called NSO Group. This allows them to activate the cameras, microphone, and access data saved on the devices. Pegasus is a sophisticated and targeted surveillance tool that has historically been used against specific individuals such as activists, journalists, and politicians. These individuals are typically more aware of their security risks, making it crucial for them to stay vigilant and update their devices promptly.

According to an article published in the Independent, a member of the staff at a US-based civil society organization with a global presence fell victim to the latest cyber-attack, as reported by Citizen Lab. This new exploit, named BLASTPASS, is particularly dangerous because it doesn't require any user interaction on their iPhone.

Over the past years, Apple and the NSO Group have been engaged in an ongoing battle to identify and rectify security vulnerabilities that could potentially enable the delivery of such malicious software.

Recent iPhone updates have introduced a "Lockdown Mode" designed to fortify the device's security by imposing additional restrictions. For instance, it prevents the automatic downloading of images that might contain spyware, which was the method used in this most recent security breach.

Security breaches do happen, unfortunately, that's why we recommed covering the cameras on your devices with CamTag.  

it was not an easy task, but we finally managed to emulate the color tone of spacegray macbooks. although the reflection properties between the printed color and anodized aluminum are slightly different, the result looks great.
