Dell’s SafeShutter feature automatically syncs with video conferencing software and includes a hardware-controlled circuit tied to the F4 and F9 keys.
As video conferencing software has allowed employees working from home to collaborate with their coworkers, concerns have arisen regarding the privacy and security of our webcams. Earlier this year, Dell unveiled a number of new business laptops in its Latitude line that are designed to enable employees to work from anywhere securely. Privacy was a big focus of the PC giant’s design process and its new Latitude 9420 and 9520 laptops are its first devices to include its SafeShutter feature. SafeShutter is the industry’s first automatic webcam shutter and it knows when to automatically open or close by syncing with a user’s video conferencing software.
