Description

Adjusts display behavior by using the webcam as a light sensor, with options for brightness, gamma temperature, dimming, and DPMS. It is useful on systems without a dedicated ambient-light sensor.

Camera-based light sensing can raise privacy concerns and may affect screen visibility unexpectedly. Review camera permissions and keep a manual way to restore brightness or display power settings.
