This sound completely crazy to me.
Why not:
      man_made:surveillance:url:contact=http://... ; 
image_only_it's_a_camera_please_do_not_phone_the_device

A newbie looking for a way to map a webcam will just not map it.

A scheme with camera=webcam/surveillance/... url=* should be sufficient, 
like Nounours proposed.

Having a new proposal with a camera=... key is a big task, but 
"man_made=surveillance" seems insanely pompous to me.
