Same origin works for me; it allows the debug / test case.

(not sure of my language here) it would be as if the first opener placed 
a restriction on the camera saying "only accessible from my origin". It 
also allows people to create applications that explicitly need to get 
the camera from multiple tabs, while preventing different applications 
that don't know each other from messing each other up (for instance, by 
zooming/panning the camera,  playing with focus mode, or flashing).
