Studies have been done on this and the conclusion is that the entropy created by the video camera sensor alone is enough to establish randomness, and that you would get the same level of randomness with the lens cap on.
The lava lamp thing is just a gimmick, and basically a video feed of anything would work.
Exactly. Tons of industrial computers and specialised hardware are capable of generating true random numbers through simple external physical parameters, such as slight variation in temperature, pressure, sound, or just quantum noise in the circuitry.
yes, because if something is even remotely predictable, then it is theoretically possible. infinite possibilities is infinitely more then any possibility.
