Access LIVE WEBCAMS around the world using Google

Web cam or webcam (web camera) is a live and real-time camera whose images can be accessed using the World Wide Web, instant messaging, or a PC video calling or video conferencing application. Webcam is increasingly used as web surveillance cams to monitor security, traffic beach, office, and other sensitive areas. Some of these webcams or networked cameras have Web interfaces that allows owners to view the image or video captured via Internet, and even direct the cameras’ motorized pan-and-tilt or zoom mechanisms. However, by using simple Google Search queries, any user that has Internet can logon, access and watch thousands of unprotected surveillance cameras and webcams around the world. Watch the following featured news video clip from Fox News, on how people can hack into top secret Internet security cameras.

So the trick to find and search for open unprotected Internet webcams that broadcast to the web, is by using the following query:

inurl:/view.shtml

or

intitle:”Live View / – AXIS” | inurl:view/view.shtml^

And Google will sniffs out network cameras that have Web interfaces and the URL or link location to the viewers that have been indexed by Google. With this hack and trick, video surfers can peek into videos or intermittently capture images showing places and scenes such as office, restaurant interiors, a Japanese barnyard, women doing laundry, the interior of an Internet collocation facility, government project sites, animals, parks, streets, Internet cafes, casinos, private rooms, and a cage full of rodents, among other things, in locales and locations scattered around the world.

The above query will reveal IP network web cameras that able to transmit live footage or individual images across the Internet from Axis Communications. If you know the unique pattern of URL or link, or title pattern that other manufacturers’ webcams’ or IP network cameras’ software used, you can also easily locate and crack those unprotected that are released or leaked to the public Internet insecure cameras or webcams by using Google. Some of the example as below. However, contrary to popular believe, most of these webcams found by this trick is naturally meant for public viewing, and normally linked from a public website. Those private webcams attached to PC or used at the living room or bedroom or bathroom are normally won’t be able to find unless the owners purposely let Google crawl the link.
