    I am confused as to why the firmware is able to control the LED at all. Seems much more sensible to just hook it up to the power the goes to the camera.

      Then the LED would always be on. I doubt that most of those cameras are ever powered off when the computer is on, rather they just write the data from the camera into a memory buffer when asked for a camera feed.
