Check Settings > Safari > Camera and set it to Ask or Allow, and also Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera to make sure Safari is on. Then fully close Safari and reopen the site, it should prompt again.

Safari's camera access is managed by iOS at the system level. Unlike third-party apps, Safari does not have a dedicated, user-level Camera toggle under Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera, where you can explicitly enable or disable its camera access.

Please refer to the screenshot below, which is self-explanatory. It illustrates that Safari does not appear among the apps with a dedicated Camera permission toggle in the iOS Privacy & Security settings.

Instead, Safari manages camera permissions on a website-by-website basis. When a website requests access to the camera, Safari may prompt you to grant or deny permission. You can also manage the website's camera permissions through Safari's website settings.

Camera setting under Settings > Apps > Safari > Camera, with the options Ask, Deny, and Allow. However, this is different from the app-level toggle found under Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera.
