Even when users mark the option "Do not take pictures", and these are not included on the reports, the device takes them anyways and blinks its webcam light (HS:webcam-blinks)

Problem

This is a pretty serious issue, because some users think that the "taking picture" feature is counter-productive in devices that automatically blink a light when taking photos. Pictures are not included on the reports, but they are taken by the device anyways, and this could alert the thieves.

How it was detected

Two customers reported the same problem.

Suggestions

To prevent devices from taking the pictures, eventhough they are not shown on the reports.
