Will the web server generate the status page and talk to the camera,
or is it just showing static data that comes from somewhere else?

If the data is generated outside the server you can use IIS or Apache
to display them. If you are generating pages in the server then
something simple like CherryPy might be a good choice, rather than one
of the full-featured web frameworks.
