Are there hardware off switches for any cameras and mics?

https://frame.work/laptop says "a hardware privacy switch lets you physically cut off power to the image sensor" and "The dual MEMS microphones are connected to a hardware privacy switch". So the laptop definitely has them, but I'm not sure if they're part of the mainboard.
