IP Crawl: Living atlas of open webcams discovered on the public internet
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
A website catalogs 13,911 open webcams accessible on the public internet.
IP Crawl is a beta website that catalogs 13,911 open webcams accessible on the public internet. Users can browse, filter by location, ISP, or manufacturer, and watch live feeds. The site also offers a feature to check if any camera near a user is exposed, taking less than 10 seconds with no login required.
What commenters are saying
Commenters are divided on the site's ethics. Some argue it exposes a massive privacy violation, comparing it to peering through uncurtained windows, and call for its removal. Others counter that the cameras were made public by their owners' ignorance or intent, making the site no different from search engines like Shodan or Google. A key point: default configurations and lazy manufacturing are blamed for the exposure. One commenter notes the site helps users verify if their own cameras are insecure.
