Our college has Tegrity for in-class lecture capture. Tegrity also has a remote proctoring feature. Students, in Tegrity, choose the "testing" option. Tegrity will turn on the student's webcam and mic. It then tells the student it will be photographing them. Instructors may choose to have the student hold up a photo ID so it appears next to their face. Next, the student tells Tegrity to start recording. Tegrity will record audio, the webcam, and whatever is on the computer screen. The student opens the exam in whatever LMS you use and takes the exam. Tegrity cannot be paused, so everything that happens during the exam will be recorded. When the student is done with the exam, the student stops Tegrity, and the recording will automatically be uploaded to where the instructor can view it.
Of course you are unlikely to watch 40 hours of students taking exams. The recordings can be played back at a faster speed. You also may opt to pick a few at random to watch. In any case, being recorded alone is likely enough to deter cheating in most students. Might a student tape their notes to the wall above their monitor? Sure. Some instructors require students to do a slow 360 with their webcam around the room before starting the exam.
