If it is a camera then all it does is photography. If you call it a camera in your encoder and solar roof then yes sure.
You are trying to bend definitions
> Cameras can be used for many things other than photography
Like plug a hole with it or hammer a nail?

Like photometry, and spectroscopy, and videography, and camera obscura, and a hundred other things. A camera is a tool for redirecting photons to create an image of a scene on a 2D plane. So many more things than just creating durable images by recording the spatial distribution of light on a plane (photography) are possible with such a tool.

This is photography. You are thinking about art but photography also means technical process.
Is photometry photography now? Is the barcode reader at my supermarket performing photography? The encoder on my scroll wheel? My solar roof?
Cameras can be used for many things other than photography. Many other things than cameras can be used for photography. The two are not synonymous.
