Lennard, don't spread nonsense around, if you have raw access to a camera there
might be the possibility to update the firmware and damage the device.
If you would have little experience with hardware you should know about that.
Your ACL/libusb restriction won't make this situation better it's
still a security risk.
Although just drop libusb as an example.
