I would like to (politely :) disagree with your split.
man_made=surveillance seems to be perfect IMHO. The word
"surveillance" may feel big-brotherish, but it is literally what a
webcam does. It seems to me you could come up with some nice tags to
add to the surveillance scheme, such as webcam=public
