Aren't such laser cutters in enclosing opaq casing with a operation monitoring camera to avoid accidents?

Plenty are available for sale without the casing, such as this one:

I have worked with several nicer fully enclosed models that do not have any monitoring camera. I have a similar model to this one with no such camera, and I suspect this one does not have one either:

That said if a kilowatt metal cutting laser was for sale, I would suspect it would have a full enclosure at least.

They should be so enclosed, but I doubt they're always so enclosed.

Should be a basic security regulatory constraint for such equipement to be allowed to be sold. If it is not the case, something is wrong somewhere.
