    As far as I can see, the cameras are not live. Timestamps on the video seem to be off by many hours (12 hours for a camera in Taiwan, 1:40 for a camera in Calgary, 15:30 for a camera in Wisconsin).

    Not complaining, just noting in case anyone is hoping for live feeds.

      They're definitely live, unless it's a honeypot just looping recorded video.

        They're last recorded snapshots, not live feeds.

    it seems to be very japanese to have open webcams on infrastructure and chattels. im getting every 3rd or 4th site is somewhere other than a japanese parking lot.

    how large is the pool? if someone identified a location in camera could they go there and exploit the view i.e. make thier own recording of interaction with someone else unaware whats happening?

    This kind of thing has been around for decades at this point.

    Still... it is interesting.

    Chat roulette was far less boring than pictures of parking lots

      By less boring, you mean more dicks?

        In part, yeah.

        It was a two-way streak though. This is almost the opposite of Chat Roulette. This is dont-chat-just-watch roulette

    Nicely done, are you proxying the images as I would have thought the cameras would crash with multiple connections

    • arm32 2 days ago

      Thank you! Yes, they are all proxied and probably over-engineered.

    Yo thats a pretty cool idea! Basically Omegle but random webfacing streetcams and the like

    Uh, I stumbled upon someone's living room camera in the US, not sure what to do about it. There was just a man looking at his phone
