Firstly, we have to imagine the physical forces at work in a BH somehow don't disallow this operation from coming even close to it's desired objectives (This camera, its tether, and everything else is somehow immune to the erasure it would surely suffer anywhere close to the vicinity of a BH).

Now that we have evaded that seemingly absolute objectively guaranteed outcome, we can view the event horizon and beyond it on our cameras feed. What exactly would you be expecting to see? It would almost assuredly not be something valuable to us as visual data. It would not be representative of anything. Light and matter within a singularity... Our minds cannot compute, and there likely isn't anything to compute.

I think the mystery of it all lets us run wild where we normally find rigid knowledge reminding us of how things ARE and MUST be. But despite its complexity and some unknowns, the likelihood of an EH being the gateway to something interesting like an inverted reflective Universe or something, it is almost nil. The theory of Wormholes to me is much more interesting and plausible. And if they do exist, despite our personal inability to probably ever utilize them or exploit them, the actual physics at play may represent something that is actually something right out of science-fiction. They do probably end up somewhere. That is cray-cray!

Btw no worries on your original misconception. It is always good to wonder and ask questions. Make everyone else think, because we are getting way to used to not doing so in todays world.

Tell him you are coming out of retirement.

These look succulent. Golden like a Krispy Kreme donut , but even better.

Should have been a restriction on internet and especially on social media long ago. AI will be bad enough of a headache, it’s the network and accessibility that enables the most damage though.
