Hello and welcome to VR Heads!

To my knowledge, there is no option to completely disable the camera in a PS4. However...there are a couple of things you can disable such as:

Face Recognition

Assess the login settings on your PS4 then look "Enable Face Recognition". Simply remove the check mark to disable it.

Disabling the PS4 microphone

If you do not use the PS4 camera as your primary means to communicate during online chat sessions or use it to send commands to your console, I suggest to disable it as depending what you do, the PS4 will think you are issuing a command even though you are having a simple conversation with someone.
@Cale Hunt from VR Heads wrote up an excellent article for such a thing.
