Camera Control Webcam Switch Indicator

A small utility to switch your webcam on/off for Linux Desktops (Gtk)

This project is an addition to (camera monitor), for having the full webcam status on tray.

Please note that sudo password must be providen, otherwise it will not work.

Background:

Camera monitor indicates the status of the camera, but it not enough to control the on/off status.
User can not be all the time in front of the monitor, in order to check the webcam status.
Such solutions, as below or by plugging in and out the usb cable, are considered funny (not to say rediculous) and unacceptable on any environment (home or business)

Solution:

Provide an additional, or standalone, webcam switch which loads and unloads the uvc driver, in order to be on the safe side, as much as possible.

Screenshots (Leftside of images is the Camera Monitor tray icon / Right side is the Camera Control tray icon) :

Webcam is on:
Switch webcam to off:
Sudo password input, normally entered once per application session, or if Forget Password is executed:
