Webcam / Microphone Detection

Question

I would like to build a page that detects whether a user's camera / microphone is working similar to this: http://www.tokbox.com/user-diagnostic/

I just need guidance on where to start.

Thanks!

This jQuery plugin can give you a list of available webcams the user has:

If webcam.getCameraList().length == 0 then you'll know they don't have a webcam.
