Quigital VigilCam

I wanted help staying alert, not a surveillance regime. Quigital VigilCam constantly watched me, drained my laptop, and misfired constantly. During a client demo, it misread me glancing down at notes as dozing, blasted a siren through my speakers, and auto-posted a “sleeping” snapshot to our team Slack. The meeting imploded, the client walked, and I spent hours apologizing for software I never consented to let broadcast my face. Creepy, brittle, and punitive—it punishes normal behavior while hoovering up video you can’t reliably control
