Trap eccentric viewer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

webcam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'viewer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'trap eccentric' is the wordplay.
'trap' becomes 'web' (web is a kind of trap).
'eccentric' becomes 'cam' (eccentric cam is a type of mechanical part).
'web'+'cam'='WEBCAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for webcam that I've seen before include "Internet-linked camera" , "Computer-linked imager" , "Digital camera" , "Internet spy" , "Digital viewer transmitting images live" .)
