No. There are a number of APIs that have to be run in the renderer process, such as Notifications, and it looks like accessing a camera is one of those. If you don't want to actually show a BrowserWindow, pass the show:false option (documented here)
Here's a sample app using the camera: https://github.com/hokein/electron-sample-apps/tree/master/camera.
