If possible, it would log when the webcam is turned on and off.

Kapersky Antivirus can block access to webcam. Whenever an application tries to access the webcam, Kaspersky explicitly asks the user's permission. Kaspersky also allows you to always allow
some applications to use the webcam and always deny
others. I am not sure if other antivirus software provide the same functionality, but it is most likely that they do.
