Remarks

This camera device is not permanently connected to this Android device. It may be connected by a wired connection, such as a USB webcam, or it might be connected wirelessly, such as via WiFi or other communication mechanism.

The provenance of the image data from the external camera cannot be guaranteed, since it is produced by hardware that is not controlled by this Android device.

Note that an EXTERNAL android.info.deviceType does not mean the android.info.supportedHardwareLevel must be EXTERNAL. A basic USB webcam would likely have an EXTERNAL hardware level, but more sophisticated remote camera systems may have more capabilities than that, and be listed with a LIMITED or better hardware level.
