There's not a lot of explanation as to what''s going on here. Are these security cameras which are exposed to the Internet for some reason or other? If so, I'm glad none are watching me. It might be fun to figure where some of them are.

One of them was pointed at a crib with a child moving around in it. The rest were the empty insides of houses for me. One of them looked like it was on a shelf behind some glass figurines (hidden camera?). I don't think that these a 'security cameras' as in corporation/government-owned.

  "I don't think that these a 'security cameras' as in corporation/government-owned." At least some of them are. I saw a few which were watching storefronts and barber shops. They looked like CCTV footage.

There was a blogpost [1] a month or so ago showing a backdoor to some webcams. The urls on the map look to be using this method in conjunction with some sort of ip-location lookup.
