As for the camera, I watch the air disasters series and the plane that crashed in the early 80's or late 70's shortly after taking off from O'Hare had a new feature of a bird eyes view camera out the front of the aircraft. Word is that camera was slowly phased out after the accident. I think I read that some still had it for a few years after but it eventually disappeared.
As noted, some international airlines already have cameras. If the airlines are still jittery about showing takeoff and landing, they could easily set the systems to activate/deactivate at certain times. It ain't the 1980s no more - technology is far advanced from the grainy black and white single CRTs at the front bulkhead.
