Given that "FileDot" is not a standard commercial application, this paper treats it as a prototype system or a methodology for webcam-based file capture and organization.
3. The FileDot Naming Convention
The choice of dot as a delimiter is deliberate: webcam filedot
Local processing only: Avoid cloud-based webcam services. Your captured files should never leave your local network unless encrypted.
Indicator LED: Physically cover the webcam’s LED if it can be disabled by software. Use a physical shutter when not in active scanning mode.
Data retention policies: Automate deletion of raw captures after the filedot-triggered file is processed.
