Dell launches SafeShutter webcam for convenience, privacy

No more sticky notes for webcam privacy

Published

on

With video conferencing becoming a staple in everyday work lives, Dell has announced SafeShutter — an automatic webcam shutter that knows when to open or close by syncing with users’ video conferencing applications, enabling them to work securely and confidently from anywhere.

Many remote workers today have resorted to permanently affixing a sticky note to computer cameras to ensure webcam privacy while working. It doesn’t need to be this way.

SafeShutter was created with remote working scenarios in mind — to strike the right balance between the convenience of seamlessly joining video calls and the privacy and the safety of knowing the camera is secure.

Human error is inevitable when it comes to video conferencing, be it speaking while still on mute or thinking the camera is turned off when it isn’t. SafeShutter creates an audible “click” that lets users know the camera has closed. The webcam also comes with a privacy LED light that turns on when the camera is in use. Paired with the keyboard indicator lights that denote if the camera and audio are on or off, users can rest assured they are in full control of their audio and video settings. No sticky note needed!

SafeShutter also factors in the need for added security aimed at limiting malicious surveillance and hacking. The security-hardened, hardware-controlled circuit allows users to control their privacy with camera disable (F9) and mic mute (F4) keys to override software settings. This provides extra assurance at the hardware level and ensures users can regain control with just a simple touch of a key, should the unexpected occur.

SafeShutter is available on the industry’s most secure commercial PCs and the new Latitude 9420 and 9520 devices. Combined with AI-based features that provide intelligent background noise-cancelling, auto-mute and smart connectivity features (like ExpressConnect, that prioritises bandwidth to your conferencing apps to prevent dropped calls), the Latitude 9420 and 9520 devices offer one of the best video conferencing experiences on a PC.

Pricing and availability

  • Dell Latitude 9420 — April 2021 — Pricing TBD
  • Dell Latitude 9520 — Available now — SG$ 2,629

All products are available for purchase online at dell.com.sg and the Dell exclusive stores in Funan Mall, NEX and Plaza Singapura.

This is a press release from Dell Singapore.

GIGABYTE has launched two new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards in celebration of its 40th anniversary, giving PC builders more options for their custom builds.

These are the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY 16G and the unique, nature-inspired AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD 16G.

These high-end components are genuine design objects meant to elevate the look of one’s entire setup, while also providing topnotch GPU performance.

The new models build on the design language of the AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY and further evolve the signature aerospace turbine-inspired aesthetic with integrated RGB lighting elements.

Particularly, the WOOD edition integrates wood-grain elements as its core design language, blending the warmth of natural textures with high-performance hardware.

As such, it is a crown jewel for lifestyle-focused users and interior design lovers, bringing a sense of warmth and emotional resonance.

At the same time, both are absolute powerhouses inside. GIGABYTE packed the new AORUS INFINITY models with the WINDFORCE Hyperburst cooling system.

The patented Hawk fan design minimizes airflow turbulence and noise while achieving higher air pressure and greater air volume.

In the thermal design is a large vapor chamber making direct contact with the GPU. This is paired with composite copper heat pipes to effectively accelerate heat transfer efficiently.

Both new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards support the Project Stealth series for a streamlined building experience.

The concealed power connector design neatly hides cables within the graphics card structure for a cleaner, less cluttery look.
