Browser plugins have access to the operating systems native APIs, so there is no major difference to a stand-alone application regarding camera-, audio- and network-access. What you have to be aware of though is that your code might run in a less privileged process.
For Internet Explorer you will have to write content extensions, specifically ActiveX controls, using C++. For all other browsers you will write NPAPI plugins C++ or C.
On Windows you can combine the two plugin types into one DLL. FireBreath does that, which you should look into as it already abstracts over the browsers (and other problems) for you.

NPAPI for gecko browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) for Internet Explorer 6,7,8,9 and 10 (with metro interface), how? – Jose Nobile Jun 01 '12 at 16:43

@Jose: Ah, i thought you only wanted to target NPAPI browsers. For Metro IE there is [no plugin support](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/metro-style-browsing-and-plug-in-free-html5.aspx). – Georg Fritzsche Jun 01 '12 at 18:05

FireBreath is a great answer. I will check if it support listen connection on TCP and some workers to handle the connections. – Jose Nobile Jun 01 '12 at 21:32
