Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor, a memory device, a PMU, and a camera formed into a chassis of the information handling system. The camera includes a lens, a shutter to block the capture of an image by the camera, shutter driver hardware to actuate shutter movement between an open state and a closed state, and a shutter position sensor to detect the position of the shutter. The information handling system includes a microcontroller unit operatively coupled to the camera to receive input describing a set state of the shutter received from user toggle input, compare the set state of the shutter to a detected state of the shutter detected by the shutter position sensor and take remedial action to actuate the shutter driver hardware to change the detected state of the shutter when the detected state of the shutter differs from the set state of the shutter.
