Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology relate to a tamper-resistant indicator of recording by a camera. Electronic devices are disclosed that include a camera, an indicator light for the camera, and a light sensor. The light sensor is disposed proximate to the indicator light so that blocking or masking the indicator light also prevents light from reaching the light sensor. In this way, the light sensor can be used to detect tampering with, masking, blocking, destroying, or otherwise preventing the indicator light from indicating when the camera is recording.
