Camera Controls

Hi everyone,

Ive spent 20 mins trawling the forums and cant find an answer......so here goes

When you have your privacy windows on (do not enter lines as well) , people can still cam into your house....is their a way you can stop this, or know who is looking at you?

Thank you in advance for any help

Short of getting your own private island (with no neighbours) and restricting access, you can't stop people camming in if they really want to, I'm afraid. If you get the Emerald viewer, there's a setting on it to show who's looking at you, but I've never really used it because all the little multi-coloured crosses floating round the screen looked so odd, so I can't really comment.

And vote for http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-205

Besides voting for Argent's Jira above, I've found there is a product called Anti-Paparazzi that supposedly makes you invisible to anyone except who you want to see you. I've not tried it yet, but it sounds like it would at the least make it difficult for people [well, besides your partner(s)] to snap pics of you during sexy time if they found you and cammed in on you.

Also if you use Emerald, you can encrypt your messages so that guy in LL's basement can't even read them.

So with the two above precautions, sexy time can be somewhat more private.

That's an awfully high price for a 10 line program to switch an attached sphere between transparent and invisiprim based in the results of llSensorRepeat().

The big problem with it is that it can only work up to 96 meters, and draw distance can be set a LOT higher than that.

If I wasn't opposed to implementing ideas made of fail I'd add that option to Otter Monitor for free.

wow, thank you all so much, i will try the emerald viewer, the other idea melted my head reading it lol

The downside to this function is that as a user of Emerald, I can turn off sending the "look at" data so people really will not know if I am looking at them. Not too mention the fact that I could focus my camera on the outside wall and just swing the view inside and then those little cross-hairs will never show inside the house.


Though they are not stored encrypted on your PC if you save your chat/im logs - which of course is only a privacy issue if others have access to your computer files.


I have just come to accept the fact that there is no real privacy in SL.

Don't kid yourself. Linden see ALL (when they choose to look, that is)

Not even that:
* Advanced / Rendering / Hide Selected
* Ctrl-3 / click on the sphere
* Sphere goes *poof*

Ctrl-Alt-Shift camming doesn't change "look at" on the official viewer either.
