Watch random security cameras from all over the world. Touch the question mark to set a couple of options, touch the top left of the screen to toggle autocycling, the bottom area to show the URL and camera number, the right area to go to next camera, and the left area to go to previous camera. This is v2 which should load cameras much faster than v1, bandwidth willing. See gizmoware.net/chumby for sourcecode and more info.

That's no walrus, it's Snooty the Manatee, live from the South Florida Museum! Love the update.

I just uploaded a new version which should load images as fast as bandwidth will allow. Fixes a couple other little issues too. And I put the sourcecode on gizmoware.net/chumby. Still some glitches, the biggest being that that if you watch it on this webpage occasionally you get a request for a username and password that stubbornly won't go away. Not the biggest deal since it doesn't affect the Chumby version, but still. And I have a new favorite camera: #29 is a walrus tank or something with constant walrus action.

Thanks for the tip! Right now I am watching a match on the college soccer field.

By the way I should say these are all Axis networked security cameras. They have a unique URL pattern and so are <a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22inurl%3Ajpg+image+jpg+r%22&btnG=Search">searchable via Google</a>.

Yeah I like the doggy daycare too. As I type someone's sweeping up all the doggy hair. I have this incredible urge to heckle her. Oh well, maybe with next year's security cameras. (And if you want to go straight to that camera, in the current version it's camera #17. You can see camera numbers by tapping the bottom of the screen. Then tap the top left to stop autocycling, then tap middle left and middle right to manually cycle thru the cameras.)

I can't stop watching this - I keep waiting for the doggy daycare to cycle back!
