Long explanation: the standard icon name spec from freedesktop.org[1] provides a fallback algorithm (implemented in GTK+[2]) to pickup the proper icon, as following
<quote> The dash “-” character is used to separate levels of specificity in icon names, for all contexts other than MimeTypes. For instance, we use “input-mouse” as the generic item for all mouse devices, and we use “input-mouse-usb” for a USB mouse device. However, if the more specific item does not exist in the current theme, and does exist in a parent theme, the generic icon from the current theme is preferred, in order to keep consistent style. </quote> Humanity theme provides "camera" icon (a link, generate by icon-naming- utils?), so when you search for "camera-web" or "camera-video" GTK+ will fall back to "camera" icon, ignoring the existing icons in "GNOME" icon theme.
