You could try GFi LANGuard's Network Security Scanner -
http://www.gfi.com/lannetscan/ . IT allows you to remotely query the
machine's to determine a wide range of info - including installed software,
registry settings, USB devices (currently and previously connected). I've
just used it to audit our infrastructure (around 700 devices) and a client
(around 3000 devices), and it highlighted a number of people running webcams
(amongst other unauthorised stuff, which NSS is great for identifying).

Good luck

Subject: Webcams

Does anyone have a method for remotely detecting webcams installed on
Windows hosts? I have the need to conduct an audit to find out if
certain staff are using webcams. I may have administrative rights to the
targets remotely, but no physical, or console access.
Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you,
