A few years ago we bought a camera, and put it in the Senate President's Office.
Check it out.

Watch the top bar of your screen. You might have to do a quick download of an Active X control to view it and move the camera around. It's harmless, and worth it.
If anyone wants technical details for doing something similar, let me know.
We're hoping the camera takes a small step toward demystifying the halls of power. Maybe a high school student somewhere in Utah is catching a glimpse of their future office. Citizens own the government – why not give them an extra window?
Several dozen people can look through the camera at the same time. People sometimes ask what happens when one person tries to move one way and someone else tries to move in another direction? I just say, welcome to the legislative process. Someone wants to go right, another person wants to go left so they fight it out and end up somewhere in between.

Here's a NBC news broadcast that features the web cam (watch for it at about 0:55).
