Microphone and Camera not appearing in sidebar in Privacy tab of 'Security & Privacy' System Preferences

I want to change the permissions relating to the microphone and camera for certain applications, however when I go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, neither Microphone or Camera appear in the sidebar (see image) so I am unable to make these changes.


I was told to try an SMC reset but nothing changed. I have had issues with admin privileges in the past but I thought this had been resolved. I can confirm my user account is listed as Admin in System Preferences.


Any help appreciated. Thanks
