Thanks to Helen, who has directed me to Camstreams , particularly like the Loch Ness camera. Helen has also sent me an example of a web-cam wall (PPT 139kb) she has produced.

Thanks to Mark, who has found this nice Windows Media live-streaming web-cam of Dublin. Also thanks to Littlemiss, who’s found these ones of Shanghai. I’ve set up a page to collate some of the best cameras.

Hugh has added two new useful pages of webcams on the Wycombe High School site.

The first mirrors a task that I produced, and is hosted on the SLN site ( scroll down the page.), a couple of years ago, Live Weather Links .

Also on the SLN site is another task I produced, asking students to find live cam pictures of places they would like to visit in the world, map them and write explanations. Looks a bit old hat now, but could do with a revisiting.

The second is a page relating to Time zones, it links nicely with a study of Longitude and Latitude.

Great work.

This web based camera seems to be popular with Geography teachers, mostly because you might get a chance to see penguins. :) Based in South Georgia, the webcam updates every three minutes. I think this is ripe for a bit of time-lapsing! Internet access is poor or often intermittent in the more remote areas of the Planet, therefore live images are more difficult to broadcast.

Let me know if you see anything good? View above is the scene at time of posting.

Updated - this is the best webcam that I’ve come across in Antarctica, not live, but has a nice time-lapse facility. Notice the daylight!

Check out Honolulu live! Love the music, there’s a nice little quality of life survey using these I think…

Check out zeitcam, it uses captured images from webcams to produce time-lapse movies. Each entry of a ‘feature’ allows you to view the present image in time, a day time-lapse or a multi-day time-lapse, all nicely geotagged on Google Maps. Two of my favourites are the Matterhorn and the building of Wembley.

Good news, EarthCam is not blocked by the network, but I have uncovered a problem with live streaming cams, some cause an annoying click when refreshing, about every second. I’ll have to investigate this further, but hey live images!
