This scenario describes a MAC Spoofing attack. Since a MAC address is easily faked, ClearPass Profiler uses "Fingerprinting." While the attacker's laptop may have the camera's MAC, its DHCP Options (the order and type of parameters requested) and its HTTP User-Agent string will identify it as a "Windows" or "Linux" device rather than a "Linux/Embedded Camera." ClearPass detects this profile conflict and can trigger a CoA (Change of Authorization) to bounce the port or move it to a restricted VLAN.
