http://www.rearden.com - sells this live/cam system called 'sitezap' that allows the surfer to actually pan/tilt/zoom the camera from his browser! Its really cool. They have links to some of the places that use it so you can go check them out.
Its by far the best quality video ive seen on the net and the zoom is incredible! I was looking at people walking down a long beach live and they looked like ants. then i zoomed in and i go see their expressions on their faces.. its amazing.
I used to setup houses with live cams back in the day and we would hire dirty ass sluts from placing classifieds in the paper to lounge around the house. we were investigating on getting the sitezap for a couple of the projects!
anyhow.... enough babbling... go see it!
