Something is not clear

The Bell inequality is statistic, it works on big numbers, not on single particles. How does the camera know that the photons are entangled? I mean that some properties may appear correlated just by chance, so if the properties match and we are taking into account a single couple claiming that they are entangled requires a little bit more evidence.
