Are you talking about ASP.NET application? The answer is no unless you use some sort of activeX to be installed on the client browser.

Touchless SDK (http://touchless.codeplex.com/releases/view/17986) contains a generic DLL for accessing webcams. Some of the cams, like the Toughbook, require accessing their own API. The Toughbook also has a downloadable SDK for their camera.

The article here shows how you might do so using DirectShow and .NET

But ...

DirectShow on Windows Server 2008 (& R2) is fraught with problems so you might want to consider a different solution if this is the target OS
