Not an EE, but I wonder if it is possible to bake into the hardware an LED that activates when the camera is active.

That would at least protect users from unintentional recording

This is quite straight forward, and I'm surprised no one has done it (to my knowledge). You simply wire the camera in such a way that powering it also powers the LED. If done properly, you couldn't hack this with software.

It's the kind of feature that should honestly be required for most applications.
