Add all the public traffic cameras from your neighborhood to get more data. I want to monitor the traffic cameras on my commuter bus route to see if I can better estimates than google maps. Now I'm interested in using the public cameras to track myself around the city.

  Holy crap indeed! I wonder if London's network is public.

      Wow! And the delay is only a few minutes. This is awesome and also scary.

        Do you live in London? It has been said, without too much digging on my part, that London has more cameras than anywhere in the world.... (or is closely behind Beijing).
        kingosticks 7y ago
        Yes. And yes, it's not news that there are loads of cameras. But the reality of actually seeing them all there on that page like that, for all to see. Knowing that anyone could easily watch my commute tomorrow, that's still a bit weird. Does that make sense?
        esotericn 7y ago
        Sure. I mean, this is what privacy advocates bang on about all the time. I'd guess that page is probably <5% of CCTV being recorded in London. Hell, my car has an always-on camera.

        There are local Facebook groups I'm in where people ask for cam footage after their car parked on the street gets damaged and there always seems to be at least one video offered.
