Howdy,

Which apps have you launched that need camera access?

I also had an empty list in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Camera until I launched 3rd party apps that want camera access.

Once I opened some apps that need camera access I got a list of apps to deny or enable access.

Again, this doesn't seem to apply to Apple supplied macOS apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player and. FaceTime.
