I agree the man_made tag is ludicrous, but we're stuck with that for the 
time being, changing that is a whole other thread.

The two level tagging is what is currently defined for cameras that film 
public spaces, I was just suggesting a new value of webcam etc and the 
addition of a new key of URL.  Let's not re-invent the wheel just 
because we need a bigger cart.

A camera recording a public space is performing surveillance over that 
space, be it a webcam, police cam, traffic cam or nature cam.  It's a 
camera.
