I no longer have the hardware. Sorry. I tried to visually follow the LED traces when I took this apart to see if it was hardwired to the power, but I was unsuccessful. If I removed all the components with a hot air pencil I would have been able to do continuity testing to figure it out, but I didn’t care enough at the time to put in the effort.

I’m largely interested from the perspective of whether or not it could be controlled independently from the camera by malware.
