r/controllablewebcams is a subreddit with 80k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses webcams, live, camera, cameras, and cams.
Controllable Webcams is a community for sharing publicly accessible & controllable cameras.
Some examples include: city cameras, traffic cameras, beach cameras, weather cameras, airport cameras, and more.
We allow both controllable (PTZ: pan/tilt/zoom) and non-controllable (fixed/stationary) cameras.
Due to obvious privacy concerns, all cameras MUST be in publicly accessible locations.
