Webcam Protection in your ESET Windows product informs you about processes and applications that are attempting to access your computer's web camera. When an application requests access to your webcam, you will receive a notification where you can select to allow or block the access.
The color of the alert window depends on the application's reputation. The option that you select will be turned into a rule that you can edit later. You will receive a notification each time the rule is used, whether you choose to block or allow the application.
