Creating an Empowering Cybersecurity Brand
by Kameron miller
Kameron Miller knows first-hand how important it is to keep your webcam covered. A hacker accessed her webcam and was able to watch her and take photos without her knowing. This scenario is all too common. Instead of retreating with fear, Kameron decided to outsmart her hacker and help others from ending up in the same situation. She invented the Kamshield webcam cover. A small, customizable webcam cover that sticks on to laptops, tablets, chrome books, and computers by simply placing the Kamshield over the webcam and sliding the cover shut when not in use, keeping your private life private.
Kameron is passionate about sharing her Kamshield with everyone she meets.
“If I can prevent just one person from having to go through the horror of what I went through when my webcam was hacked than I have done my job.”
Hacking Statistics Drove My Desire to Launch Kamshield
100% privacy is only possible by physically blocking the camera lens of our devices
73% of Americans have fallen victim to some form of cybercrime in their life
Every 39 seconds, there is at least one hacker attack around the nation
We Are All Susceptible to the Dangers of Hacking
There are countless testimonials and stories from celebrities, public figures, politicians, to everyday people that are affected by hacking. This is something that is happening all over the world and yet very few people are actively protecting themselves. 1 million women and 370,000 men are stalked annually in the United States. A shocking 1 in 12 women and 1 in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetimes.
Everyone is realizing that their private life is no longer private online and recognizes the need to protect ourselves and our children from the dangers of cyber-hacking. The answer is a simple one: Kamshield Webcam Cover.
Time to Take Control
With most of us working from home and our children learning online as well, we must be protecting ourselves. We live in a digital age where the primary communication is through technology and the internet which makes us vulnerable and Internet-connected cameras expose us to potential breaches in privacy. Your private moments can be compromised.
A sliding webcam cover protects the user from prying eyes and keeps the power of who and when someone can access your camera in your hands.
Promote Your Company While Protecting Your Customers
Kamshield was designed by women and with women in mind. Webcam privacy protection is increasingly more important today because every day, thousands of devices are hacked. Intruders scan the internet in search for webcam cameras that are open for viewing and within seconds can gain access to your private life through the camera lens on your device.
What better message to your customers than by letting them know they are protected. Kamshield offer designs that can be completely customizable with company logos, colors, etc. in order to promote your personal brand.

Kamshield webcam covers are a simple product and solution for a global problem. This is the next wake up call to parents everywhere.
Refocusing During the Pandemic
This year has impacted all of us in many different ways. All of us are now more familiar with technology than ever and we had to adapt and learn new ways to connect while not being able to physically be with each other.
Kameron fell sick with COVID early on this year and was sick for eight weeks, which put a brief hold on the business. Her company had to refocus and refine what was most important in her business and she believes it is her message of protecting others.
After having COVID, Kameron said,
“Having a reset, really helped me to refocus on what my mission was for Kamshield creating awareness for women and kids about the importance of covering your webcam.”
I was able to redesign my website during this time so that people at home can easily design their webcam cover with their own images on our custom Kamshield page on our site.
The local South Bay schools did not rely so heavily on their devices before COVID, with most kids still being taught from home we have been working with the schools to get webcam covers out to the students for at home use.
Right before COVID we were scaling up and looking at different ways to expand our business, however having to halt and reevaluate the direction in which the company was moving and who we were partnering with allowed us to refocus on the true nature of the company and work more closely on getting our product in schools and spreading awareness.
“I wake up every day grateful for my kids and family. I look back on how I got here from experiencing a horrible, intrusive situation to helping other families protect their loved ones’ privacy. As a mother my job is to protect and empower my children and I’m hoping my experience and story will empower you to protect yours as well.” — Kameron Miller, Founder of Kamshield
