unsecured security camera

some untrusting person’s employee. the lobby of a radio station in taiwan. a woman shaving a cat. sleeping mice inside of a research lab – who knows what you’ll find with a quick search. as this becomes more well known, there is a good chance you’ll find yourself wrestling another snooper for control of a camera

    Suggestion for a hack:
    Get an iPod Mini to talk to a Nintendo Gameboy Advance DS
    You would have a two-screen pocket computer
    Any takers?

    This is a funny one… I’ve spent the afternoon browsing cameras from all over the world :).

  • Kfrog says:

    What should I search for to see the cameras?

  • zenprime says:

    I can’t get firefox to work with the cameras also. It’s because they use activeX controls.

    ummm i want to know if there is any way that i can specifically look at one webcam in particular…..for instance, if i wanted to look at a town square in italy or rio de janiro…..how would i do that?
    p.s. is there any sort of list that can show me all the operational webcams in the world?

    the answer to 11 & 12 is a resounding “no,” though you could begin the database yourself.

  • some dude you don't know says:

    hey no cameras that i look at show up right. the page works but not the pic, i use IE v6. Does anyone know why it does this or how to fix it

  • seth says:

    i love it, i’ve been watching people from around the world. it seems all the cameras are set to be in japenese or chinese but if you look at the last value in the url it will say language, set that to 0 to get english

  • burning.phoenix says:

    Cool! I think the webcam I’ve been looking at is one for a dog kennel or something. There’s a sleeping dog in the front, an asian lady washing a dog, and lots of barking.

    So cool.
