Description

Screen brightness, gamma temperature, dimming, and DPMS behavior can react to ambient light estimated from a webcam. It is useful for laptop and desktop users who want automatic display adjustments without a dedicated light sensor.

This daemon captures webcam frames to estimate light, which has privacy implications. Confirm when the camera is used, review permissions, and avoid enabling it where camera access is restricted.
