One problem with the term, webcam, is that it implies internet connected.
There are a number of CCTV cameras located in businesses, apartments,
condo's, and public buildings. Using the term surveillance, while sounding
ominous, might be a better tag. But adding in surveillance=webcam,weather,
etc. with the url.

The wiki for man_made=surveillance should be updated remove editorial
content.
