Indeed it does

Back in the mid-2000's, one of my hallmates at uni had his room broken into (a mischievous joke, nothing of note was taken). He invested in a motion-tracking-and-recording webcam and boasted about it to the whole building. His room was broken into again, this time by someone holding up a bedsheet between themselves and the camera. The camera was then nicked, but the intruder left the laptop. With the recording playing on loop on the screen.

If only I also hadn't boasted to the entire building....
