    The built in iSight camera is nice but not in an educational environment. I would like to disable the camera, preferably without destroying it. I had heard you could remove the kernel extension:

    /System/Library/Extenstions/Apple_iSight.kext

    Supposedly without the kernel extension the camera would not work but this is not the case. I remove the file and it still seems to work ok. Currently there are at least 3 programs installed by default that directly make use of the camera – PhotoBooth, iMovie, and Quicktime Player.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Try this kext:

    /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext
