OK, that is a point, I agree here.

I still think that a (public) webcam could be tagged differently from
a CCTV because it's not the same purpose and not the same legislation
even if it is a camera and may transit throught the net. One is
public, the other not.
May I suggest:
man_made=public_webcam
website=*    ('url' is deprecated in the wiki)


May I suggest another direction to move in the situation?

I see a camera - but absolutely do not know which purpose it has.
Both opportunities (surveillance/webcam) are possible with this installation.
Which tag should I use then?
Shall I have to dig it out before tagging?
Or shall I simply ignore the camera and do not tag it?

If we want to extend the tagging, we should use a new but generic tag (camera?) in my opinion. Yes, this may result in parallel tagging - but we should not run in the next cul-de-sac with one's eyes open.
