Nope. If you want to work in a browser, you will need at least Flash to do this, and for Video capturing you will definitely need something corresponding on server side.

Answer 2

HTML5 is bringing us the getUserMedia method, which will allow obtaining of browser's webcam/audio directly from JavaScript.
