I'm still not hearing any speech from the camera doing the recording. Can you tell me specifically, how recording with a camera is speech?

ACLU of IL v. Alvarez (2012): "The act of making an audio or audiovisual recording is necessarily included within the First Amendment’s guarantee of speech and press rights as a corollary of the right to disseminate the resulting recording."
What is your definition of speech? It seems like you are defining it literally.
My recording of police interactions is free speech, for example.
My recording my property is free speech.
My taking a camera into public spaces and recording is free speech.
