man_made is "A tag for identifying man-made /(artificial)/ structures
added to the landscape." taken from the Wiki.
It's not just technical, and when you look at what is now included under
this bizarre heading: adit, clearcut, monitoring_station, pier,
snow_net, snow_fence, wastewater_plant, windmill, surveillance and
finally "works"!!?!?!?
Clearly, man_made has become a dumping ground for anything not natural
that we can't be bothered to tag somewhere else!
Man_made probably needs clearing up and surveillance probably shouldn't
be under it, however it is under it and none of that effects the
question of webcams.

what is the logics behind this? We use man_made for technical
installations/facilities/structures/devices, a camera is a technical
device, restaurants aren't (maybe the kitchen would qualify),
"buildings" aren't (but could have technical facilities to make them
work), highways aren't. I do not insist in using man_made for cameras,
but IMHO they would fit (like a crane, a chimney, a water_well, etc.).
