Camera

A camera is an optical instrument used to record images. The term comes from the word camera obscura (Latin for dark chamber), a basic mechanism for projecting images.

Over the past decades, we’ve seen the move from the camera obscura to advanced digital cameras. When it comes to webcams, they have been around for quite a long time.

In spite of that, they are nowhere near as the cameras from the latest Android and iPhone devices in terms of performance.

As far as design esthetics is concerned, even fitting a webcam near the display turned into a challenge for the thin laptops these days. That’s why companies like Huawei hide it inside the keyboard.
