Why can we not have:
man_made=surveillance
surveillance:type=webcam
surveillance:zone=weather;traffic;scenic.....
url=http://....
The overarching category of man_made=surveillance is important because
no matter what the intention of a webcam it is pushing to the internet
and therefore there is no control on who sees it and what they use it
for, so you can't say it isn't surveillance because that's what it is.
This is in keeping with current usage and allows current renderers to
capture any newly added "webcams" without recoding.

I would agree, I think that covers it.
A webcam is surveillance, it's a camera that is watching you making
it available to anyone. Some would say that is a greater
infringement than an official camera that is regulated.
Maybe the wiki page needs re-wording to reflect that it doesn't
matter who is watching just that if they're watching with a camera
then it's surveillance.
I think we live in different universes. This is the kind of stuff I
am interested in:

not living, just thinking:
You can surveil the wheather condition, snow condition, forest fire
there. ;-)
Well, I think I understand what you mean - I would have prefered a
generic man_made=camera instead of =surveillance.
I normally can not decide which view angle, zoom or purpose it has.
Only: There is someone watching - but what and why?
Best regards
