The check _cameraId > 0 seems incorrect. Camera IDs are non-negative integers, so camera ID 0 is valid. This check prevents video recording on the first available camera. It should probably be _cameraId >= 0.

if (_initialized && _cameraId >= 0) {

if (_recordingTimed) {
/// Request to stop timed recording short.
await CameraPlatform.instance.stopVideoRecording(_cameraId);
