We've got something of the same going on:

http://cam1.revspace.nl/
http://cam2.revspace.nl/

The cams don't cover the entire space though. We're still undecided whether
they are a good thing or not. There are good things about it: you can check if
there's people in the space and what they're up to, helping you in your
decision whether to come over or not. On the other hand, they're kinda public
and we sometime feel watched.

I took them down for a while, but that resulted in complaints 'hey put em back'.

I'd like to see a logon to them, so only members can watch the cams, but so
far no-one has stepped up to implement that. So I guess it doesn't really 
bother anyone :)
