Yeah that part is either just bullshit or OP gave the bot access to his camera previously, which is just dumb.

OP might have meant that it asked for camera permission. Or OP might have set camera permission to auto allow but then that is also stupid (more so).

I would not be surprised if they just activated the camera

The story smells like bullshit to me.
