/r/conspiracy kids discovers public city weather and traffic cameras that have been around Since the 00s
- thebigspacefuck 6y agoIt’s pretty cool. You can change where they point and zoom in/out. Usually can’t do that with public cameras
- reaperducer 6y agoIt’s pretty cool. You can change where they point and zoom in/out. Usually can’t do that with public cameras Really? I occasionally visit public construction site cameras that real estate developers put up, and they're almost always interactive.
- MiroF 6y agoNot true - back when I used to mess around with this in high school quite a few cameras had the controls.
- nbrempel 6y agoMaybe, but you normally can't move weather cameras and I don't think they have such a high resolution... From another comment, apparently the cameras are distributed by https://www.crimepoint.net/ https://www.crimepoint.net/
- pcdoodle 6y agoOne guy there was playing around and found presets for: "Richards House"
- derision 6y agoMaybe Richard has a lot of weather anomalies
- pcdoodle 6y agoLMAO

- kick 6y agoBecause the DEA totally has an excuse to own public city weather and traffic cameras.
- monadic2 6y agoI don’t think they generally ask permission....
- ta999999171 6y ago...........really?
- wayoutthere 6y agoPlay around with one and you'll see quickly that these are designed for remote surveillance. Traffic / weather cameras don't have telephoto lenses, motorized 3 axis control or high-quality sensors.
- jeffbee 6y agoYou just made up every aspect of that statement. Caltrans traffic cameras are all variable telephoto cameras on pan/tilt/zoom rigs. Many weather cameras even allow random web visitors to control the PTZ for a minute or two.

For access contact us at 503-932-6899 or email us at info@ipsurvconcepts.com" ... "This phone number traces to Mike Bethers, Special Agent at Oregon Department of Justice." So cut the shit, these aren't traffic cameras.
- wayoutthere 6y agoI've never seen a traffic camera that could make out a license plate from 2 blocks away.
- reaperducer 6y agoI've never seen a traffic camera that could make out a license plate from 2 blocks away. How many have you installed? One TV station that I worked for in the early 00's had cameras all over the city that could easily do that, all fibered back into the newsroom.
- aendruk 6y ago> weather and traffic cameras Several are clearly disguised; the view is framed by "high voltage" etc. decals in reverse, similar to: https://www.qpcs.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-06-17_23-58-03.jpg https://www.qpcs.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-06-17_2...
- catblast 6y agoSo what? Even weather cameras need deterrence from vandals.
- edm0nd 6y agoWeather and traffic cams don't have "Due to its sensitive nature, the information contained on this website is restricted to law enforcement professionals and government agencies only. For access contact us at 503-932-6899 or email us at info@ipsurvconcepts.com"
