Camera Watch: Links to Public Webcams

Posted by michael on from the watching-us-watching-them dept.

Mikkeles writes "From an Associated Press story: 'It sounds like a chapter out of "Spy vs. Spy": Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have launched a project called Camera Watch that lists Internet cameras that monitor public spaces, letting Web surfers try the role of bored security guard.' The site permits searching for an available webcam in the geographical region (US) of your choice. About 600 webcams of 6000 in the pipe are now available."

    I'm pretty sure I heard about something just like this a few weeks ago. Was it just a proposal for this project or someone else doing the same thing? Anybody?
