Is there such a thing or is it possible to have a program that alerts when webcam has been activated, or even reveals what applications are doing it?
I'm generally interested in how you can improve webcam security

If it's USB, unplug it. If it's a built-in, a piece of tape.
If you're on the latest build of win10, you can also turn off camera device access entirely from the privacy settings.
otherwise, I don't know of a software, for windows that can do this.
Process explorer does have the ability to find which programs have DLLs loaded, and a search for your camera device ID tells you which program is using it
but I don't believe this fit's your criteria

That sounds like precisely what I was thinking of!
Not automated but, it can do the job
Automating it would be perfect but that would require coding knowledge I guess
My anti virus, ESET Smart Security lets me know and prompts to allow programs to use my webcam.
