No, because the threat model doesn't make sense. To record audio or video, a hacker would need to be running arbitrary code as my user or as root on my laptop. If they've got that far, I'm completely pwned. Now, if a hacker has pwned my computer, are they going to risk alerting me by flashing my camera light or attempting to exfiltrate large amounts of likely useless multimedia data? Not likely. They're much more likely to do something boring and practical like make me join a botnet or scrape logins for any online accounts I might have. If it's a really serious (non-automated) hacker, they might go digging for industrial secrets, or quietly record my keystrokes.

In the extremely unlikely event that someone actually wants and retrieves footage or audio of me, the worst they're gonna find is me doing something mildly embarrassing, like doing the macerena with a kazoo accompaniment. Not exactly easy to monetize.
