That would just be a webcam, and there are tons of them out there that don't (to my knowledge) get any blowback.

Example I saw in person a couple years ago (Estes Park, CO): https://originaltaffyshop.com/taffy-cam.php

They had a sign out front saying something like "tell your mom to visit this website so you can wave to her". Nobody seemed to mind. Maybe the difference here is that it is clearly marked?
