    Hi ,

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    You can activate audit mode so that the request from the camera hardware and application is recorded in the registry.

    "To view the logs of the application calling hardware (camera, microphone) on your system, you need to turn on the auditing mode of the event viewer, and I'll give you a link here to the method for turning on the auditing mode."
