Look more closely at the bar link that's attached to the cam.

Notice how the protrusion on the cam catches that bar as the catapult is being pulled back.

Notice how, in the video, the cam stops before that bar goes over-center.

To release, the cam is rotated further (in the same direction it was turning before) until the bar goes over-center. At that point, the tension pulls the bar off the protrusion and launches the catapult.
