Wow!! some of these webcams that have been added recently are like post cards!!

Here's mine - for reasons of privacy for the other people living in our building, its shows mostly sky.

Location: Leiden, the Netherlands.

Here is my webcam.

I am using a Playstation 3 Eye as the webcam with a Hoya
circular polariser attached. I had to mount the Polariser
into a cotton bud plastic box which I cut a hole in. And
then taped to the top of the Camera.

Ok I know it looks a bit Blue Peter, with all the tape
and blue tack , but it seems to be working quite well
especially as it is viewing through double glazing and
a Polariser lens.

I have now purchased a Micrsoft LifeCam, and the 1st webcam image
is now displaying images from the LifeCam and not my old setup which
was using a Playstation Eye (old setup is shown above).

Been meaning to put a link to my webcam for ages. Anyway here it is.

I'm hoping to get the camera a bit higher than it is. This will then allow the view to be seen much better. White blobs that appear in the foreground occasionally are not low level cumulus but sheep
Image is updated every 10 mins. The camera is just a cheapo USB webcam.

Being on a Mac I use Freeway to compile the site. this software allows a great deal of creativity and by using php as well, it has allowed me to layer info. Hence the OSD of weather and links to zoom images while the background webcam image updates as and when.

Somewhere on the the zoom image of the airport is Mike from Wilmslow

Cheers, Peter.

Nice camera. Like the annotation to show the airport etc.

There are two snapshot from a webcam near my city (it isn't mine). It's 1447 meters high and looking North

Spot the difference(s) 2 1/2 years makes - surprisingly little tree growth I think

Here's a couple from Darwin, NT, Australia. This is not from me, however, Ben from bsch.au.com has asked if he can set up a DSLR camera with dedicated computer to upload to his server for $150. Sounds good right?

Here's another, my house is 20km away on the right of picture.

im determined to have a webcam on my website, how ever due to living in the most Tropical Cyclone prone area of australia the North West of Western Australia, i have the new sort of Cyclone screens, which lock tight on all windows including doors, and they lock from the inside, so there is no way to run cables from inside to outside and the feed from a camera through the screen is shocking, any ideas anyone, as i would like to have a pretty good image displayed
