Find over a million webcams - you can control many of them too!

You can search, find and control webcams using simple, automated, special algorithms - now you do not need to be a hacker to be able to find millions of webcams - hidden and public.

Webcams - Popular and useful

Webcams have become very popular lately. You can see them everywhere, and they are a useful addition to many different types of websites: Ski slopes use them to entice people with lovely panoramas of snowy peaks, beach resorts use them to show off their balmy shoreside locations, universities use them to show various collegiate scenes to potential visitors/students.

Many people use webcams for other purposes:

  • 'Nannycams' to watch over the nanny who is watching your children.
  • Many pre-schools and kindergartens have them so that parents may look in on their child's class.
  • Security guards use them to see who is approaching a gate or to watch on areas that are too remote to patrol frequently.
  • People will often use them to watch on their home or business while they are away
  • Suspicious spouses may install them to snoop on their mate
  • Exhibitionists often install them to show-off online
  • Bars and restaurants install them so that customers can see the excitement and atmosphere - thereby enticing them to visit.
  • There is a whole industry of webcam porn, nudity and sex - but that is not what this article is about, although this search will find those kinds of things too if you are not careful - unless you set your Google Search to "Safe Search".

Many Cams are not Secured Against Intruders

It is surprising how many people install webcams and do not secure them against unwanted users. They often will simply open the box and install the webcam with default settings - neglecting security. They do not password protect the cam nor the controls, thereby allowing anyone who can find the camera to control it and see whatever the camera sees. Sometimes they install a hidden cam in their home and then forget all about it... all the while it is transmitting. Anyone who knows how to uncover the cam, can see whatever the camera sees - and often even remotely operate the camera.

Thanks to today's powerful search engines, you can uncover all of these cameras quickly and easily.

How To Do It

You need only do a web cam search at www.web-cam-search.com, where they have simplified the algorithms to the point where absolutely anybody can find all of these webcams. The site uncovers over a million installed webcams worldwide - public, municipal, private - you name it.

To get started, just LEAVE THE SEARCH FIELD BLANK and hit the search button. Then you will see that you immediately found nearly a million cameras! Then you can learn to play with the different algorithms and searches.

There are tutorials on the site which show how to uncover hidden webcams, and to automatically use algorithms devised by specialists to uncover all webcams hidden out there on the Internet. They call it a "hacker interface", but it actually does not do any illegal hacking, it merely finds unsecured cameras - and there are plenty of them.

Advanced User Tricks

There are a number of more advanced user tricks that you can do from the website to search, uncover and control webcams. If this hub becomes popular, I will take the time to write more on this with step-by-step instructions on how to find a webcam near you, how to identify the exact location of an interesting cam you found, and more.

For now, happy hunting!

If you find any interesting cams, be sure to post them in the webcam forum!

I did this a while back and found myself watching giraffes in a zoo, a buzzing Japanese restaurant and people wandering in and out of a hardware store. Hours of silly fun to be had :)
