    It's pissing it down here in Cambridge (MA)

    http://ncd3.math.harvard.edu/

    I am about a 2 min walk from the yard.

    And this is what it looks like right outside my office - except this photo lacks the rain...

      VP - Do you know where Granville Road is? I used to live there.

        I have recently got that random surveillance camera screensaver. It refuses to cooperate most of the time but when it does it's great. And it just showed me A LITTER OF PUPPIES.

          This is the nearest webcam I can find. Marvel at the traffic patterns at Swiss Cottage!

            Yes, it's off Huron Ave/Vassal. One of our staff assistants had a really crap Halloween party in an apartment on Vassal on year....

              Looking pretty dark at this precise moment, but I'm sure it'll be more exciting tomorrow. Perhaps I'll go down there in the morning and wave or something.

                    This is our favourite beach http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/imarine/19248.asp

                    There are other cameras accessible from the same page.

                      Is there any laws governing the running of cameras from your own home if they film off of your property?

                      I work down the end of my garden, and in some idle moments I've contemplated putting cameras up outside the office and across the garden so that I can see what's going on outside when i'm here, but also so I can record any comings and goings when I'm not here.

                        I presume you're in the UK?

                        It's legal to have cameras filming your own property, but you have to be on the data protection register if you're filming the street. I don't believe you can record other's property at all.

                          I am in the UK, so thanks for that. Must be nigh impossible to police that rule I imagine.

                          What I could do with is a networked night vision capable weatherproof camera, ideally one that can email or ftp files to a location as well.

                          Do such things exist for a reasonable price (below £200)?

                            If you don't mind dedicating a computer to it, try this.

                              That's just the software though isn't it?

                              Was after an independant one that can ftp or smtp the pics of some git stealing my computer... if he nicks the computer it's no good

                                Yes, I linked to the software because the answer to your question is no, not for that price.

                                  The super-exciting slip-road I use to get onto the M40 each morning:



                                  I get off at the next junction (Longbridge Island) before heading down the A46 to work.
