Abstract
A portable information handling system camera module has a single shutter that slides in response to a single shutter mechanism to manage access for a field of view of both a visual camera and an infrared camera by sliding only between first and second positions, the first position aligning an opening of the shutter with a visual camera and a shield visual camera opening, the second position blocking the opening of the shutter and extending an end of the shutter over infrared camera. The shutter actuates with an electromagnet that generates a magnetic field, such as voice coil. The magnetic field is applied to a speaker magnet that causes vibration at a speaker cone to generate an audible sound.
