We can OPEN a browser and, I guess, TURN ON a hand-held camera. If a camera is installed in the laptop, etc., like a browser, can we OPEN a video web camera?

Thank you.

In my opinion, OPENING applies to making something visible or audible - like a browser, a book, a meeting, a discussion. A camera has a button or switch by which it is activated. So the lens might be open, but the entity called the camera is started or activated.
