gollark: Not sure about software but I bet someone has written something for it.
gollark: You could get a raspberry pi and one of their cameras? It wouldn't be very good but ought to *work*.
gollark: Also, on the topic of terrible device security, an old router I had had a similar security problem. There was a telnet management interface thing which I noticed had a `ps` command, and it seemed that some lazy/stupid programmer had just made it pass the arguments straight to `system` or something, because you could do `ps ; sh` and... get a root shell...
