Ok, we have already discussed Google Hacking, now we are going to use the same basic steps to find networked webcams and security cameras.  What is sweet is a lot of these cameras let you rotate and control zoom functions!.

A network camera is a camera which is linked to a network and/or the internet. There is no need for a PC. The cam has a mini-PC in it-self!

 

The camera can be easily accesed with an internet browser. The camera image is usually placed in a certain web page...

Someone has already done a lot of homework and  compiled a list of  open cameras, you can see this list at www.griffid.com/htm/live_images.html However, lets find our own cameras! :)

Rufus at http://wonder.i.am has put together a nice list of google hacks that we can use to find these cams..

Axis  cameras:

  • /view/view.shtml axis  'google'
  • "adding live video to one of your own pages a very easy task with an AXIS 2100 Network Camera"  'google'

  • "Your browser has JavaScript turned off.For the user interface to work effectively"  'google'
