Eeeeh, sure, but even the 12V/55Ah lead battery in my 15 years old ICE car could power a camera and a 4G transmitter for a few months and still hold enough charge to start the engine. It's not something that's exclusive to EVs, you could do that with any new car.
Yeah it can be done if you specifically set out to make a battery-powered camera. You can't just turn a normal car on to standby and have it last long. Especially not if you're running facial recognition on the car's computer.
If you're on a 4 year old lead battery you're going to notice and care if it's drawing a dozen watts all the time, but with an EV you won't even notice a .1 kWh drain.
Also electric cars are Always On. They have so much energy stored they can record video and send it to the feds for months even when not plugged in.
