Webcams Into the Unknown 2

Well, it turns out I was a little obsessed with this unsecured network camera phenomenon. I’ve found a few more cool cameras that are working, but before I share them I wanted to address something Nicole of NicoleMART said in a comment on my first post about these cameras.

She said she couldn’t see the camera’s feed for “Cat’s on a Bed”. I tried it again after I read that and it was also the ‘blue screen of death’ for me. Then I found something someone wrote in a comment on the Digg post:

I’ve been watching this cat cam on and off for close to a year now. I’m always interested in what that are doing, but I have yet to see their owner. There are very specific times when the cam is just plain turned off, and times when it seems to be covered up by a hazed glass, so there must be someone living there or at least visiting often.

So hopefully its just not functioning because its a particular time of day. Here’s a hilarious screenshot of one the cats having his way with another on top of the bed (I wish I had taken this):

Here are a few more good ones I’ve found:

1. Redneck Office - I only call it a redneck office because the first time I loaded it up there was an overweight middle-aged guy sitting at the main desk talking on the phone with a camoflauge trucker hat on.
2. Japanese Laundromat - What’s so interesting about this? I don’t know. But if I can ever figure out what time people in Japan’s time zone wash clothes, then I’ll tell you.
3. Hobo Square - I’m guessing this is also in Japan or a large city in Asia just because its noon here and the middle of the night over there. A surprising number of homeless are sleeping out in the open at the bottom of the square (no boxes or anything).
4. Hot Rods R Us - A mechanics shop with a good number of Trans Ams and Camaros up on the lifts.
5. Driving Range - Watch how many hooks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

If you’re getting as interested in real-time voyeurism from your laptop, then you might want to check out John Bokma’s Security webcam hunting with Google. Have fun, and if you find any naughty cams I hope you know you have to give me credit and send me any screen shots you have.
