We live in an insecure and troublesome world, fraught with spying eyes, computer hackers, and identity thieves.
Use your Mac to add a touch of security to your computer, your office, your home with a nifty, very Mac-like application called Periscope. It’s an easy way to use your Mac’s built-in iSight camera for security.
Through the years I’ve owned a lot of web cam software, some good, some totally confusing and difficult to use. For the most part, web cam software has always been interesting, but not particularly.... (excerpted).

Hi
Just a note that I have read several of these types of articles now (on iAlertU, SecuritySpy etc.) and all have missed noting “Undercover”. Undercover appears to me to be the top of the class for securing your Mac from being stolen. While it does not act quite the same way as Periscope, etc., (for one thing it does not advertise that it is even installed) if you just want to make sure you have the best chance of recovering your Mac if it is stolen, Undercover is worth looking into.
I don’t have any affiliation with the makers, I am just a happy customer.
