The problem wasn't the camera, it was receiving the telemetry. As Elon said after the launch, they captured telemetry from a plane, and the plane had to stay pretty far away.

Why was internal storage for the video camera not available?

Probably it was, but was subsequently lost/sunk alongside the stage hull.

I didn't realize the 1st stage was destroyed in the ocean.

The above article says the next landing zone will be closer to land which should increase the chances of a successful recovery.
