Cam Control and Peeping Toms

Cam Control can be used to look inside buildings, including the bedrooms of private homes. When combined with the ability to take Screenshots at will, the potential (and in my direct experience) for abuse and griefing is obvious. Can a limitation be placed on either or both?

This question is a long mainstay, Keen. You may wish to search the forum archives for its colorful history.

While we currently don't have a mechanical means to prevent camscanning, abuse and griefing should of course be reported via Help > Report Abuse menu. This behavior tends to be accumulative and repeated. People who do this sort of thing for thrills tend to do it over and over--in some cases they get caught quickly because of diligent abuse reporting.

We hope in the future that there'll be a "True Mute" that will completely block someone out. Whether this will be a confirmed part of it remains to be seen, but Mute features have been added, one after another, and audio muting is up around the bend.

What also helps is having a sensor device in your home so you can detect the names of who comes within range. If someone's unwanted and keeps coming back, and stands outside your parcel (even if banned) and continues to return to harass, I'd say you likely have a good case there.
