**Onde no FireAI:** World map › Camera & mic

Know which app can see or hear you, not just that something can.

## Watch it live

1. Open FireAI and go to World map.
2. When an app turns on the camera or microphone, a strip appears under the title, for example “Microphone on: Microsoft Teams”, with how long it has been on and how much that app has sent and received since.
3. That app’s connections light up on the globe: green while the camera is on, orange for the microphone, with a small camera or microphone badge on each destination. Click a line to see the company and country.

> **Note:** The microphone’s app comes straight from macOS. For the camera, macOS has no public way to tell which app holds it, so FireAI names the app on the microphone at the same time, or else the app in front, and says “probably”.

## Look back at earlier sessions

1. Click Camera & mic at the top right of World map.
2. Each session shows the app, when it started, how long it lasted, what it sent and received meanwhile, and its top destinations with company and country.
3. The log is kept on this Mac only (last 200 sessions). Clear log removes it.

## Stop it

Every session has a Stop it menu. Each choice asks you to confirm first:

- Remove camera access (or microphone access): macOS forgets you allowed that app, so it has to ask again next time; answer Don’t Allow. A call already in progress keeps going until the app quits.
- Quit the app: closes it like ⌘Q, which stops the camera and microphone right away.
- Block its internet: adds FireAI rules so nothing the app records can leave your Mac. Remove them any time in Rules.
- Open Privacy & Security: the System Settings list where macOS decides who may use the camera and microphone.

> **Note:** FireAI never sees or hears anything itself: it only checks whether the camera and microphone are on, with public macOS interfaces and no camera or microphone permission. Nothing about it leaves your Mac. See [the privacy promise](https://hisnlabs.com/fireai/en/docs/privacy-promise) for everything else FireAI does and doesn’t send.
