OpenTopia Hawaii webcams (click for update)

Many cams show traffic, areas in or around factories and offices or are used to control the security. Often people can be seen. It can be questioned or the cam owners are aware to be visible worldwide.
You can select the webcams placed in various nations. Click at the image and you see the live feed that supplies information from the place. It is possible to make a geographic selection of countries all over the world and United States states.
Often OpenTopia doesn't know what kind of a cam is showed and the visitors are asked to provide that kind of information. You also can rate the views. It is possible to select random, the most often viewed, the highest rated and the newest cams from the selected area.
If you click the picture, you'll see what information is available about the location. Click at it and a window will open and you can see a live video feed, comments and ratings and other information.

OpenTopia is a website of Flemming Funch, also known like Ming the Mechanic, and he tells here why he started the webcam site.
Funch was born in Denmark, moved in 1985 with his wife to Los Angeles (USA) and went with his family in 2003 to Toulouse (France). Read his websites about his many interests, linking the people who change the world!
