How Do I Use MacBook Camera as a Spy Camera

How Do I Use MacBook Camera as a Spy Camera?

The MacBook laptop has a built-in video camera that can be used to watch others from a Mac or PC that is connected to the Internet. The procedure involves installing special viewing software on both the MacBook and the computer that will be doing the watching. Neither computer will be adversely affected by using the special viewing software, which can be removed at any time. The Internet is used to transmit the video from the MacBook video camera, allowing you to use the MacBook as a spying device wherever there is an Internet connection
