so the camera (the transmitter)is the output.

yes, i agree its also an input, IE. it takes input as light, then converts it to electrical current for OUTPUT to be transmitted to the input device.......

Thats like saying a microphone converts airwaves (INPUT) into electrical current (OUTPUT). Which is true, but thats not the way it goes.
The fact is the microphone is still an INPUT, so the microphone is the input where as the speakers are the output.

Like everyone says, the webcam is the input, the pc monitor is the output.
This make sense to me as this is the way I learnt it.
