Does macOS keep iSight Camera usage logs?
On recent hardware with the T2 chip and new macOS - the camera is controlled in firmware and Apple makes it clear when it's engaged.

Look for a product like MicroSnitch to let you know when recording is happening - whether it's a legitimate program or a covert one.

As long as you are on El Capitan or newer, I have seen zero cases where this isn't a solid detection mechanism.
