The global admin guard skipped the admin check for any request whose first path segment matched a configured camera name, without looking at which route actually handled it. A camera named `faces`, `lpr`, `audio`, or `classification` let viewers reach the face, LPR, audio transcription, and classification endpoints that rely only on the global guard. The exemption now also requires the matched route to be a `/{camera_name}` route, so camera routes behave exactly as before.
