Fixed in build 210. The doorbell event handler on the iOS/Catalyst side was setting up the camera stream and storing a pending camera ID before the macOS side could check the notification preference. Disabling the setting blocked the camera panel from appearing, but the stream still started in the background.

The fix gates the stream setup on the same doorbellNotifications preference, and also moves the preference check before the doorbell sound so disabling notifications silences everything.
