Web Cams
How to Use -- Contents
Slightly Creaky does extensive research to find the links you would most likely need and provides them for you in an easy-to-find format. You can access the various categories from any of our web pages using the top or side menus. Each category has generalized headings, followed by more specific ones.
Many of us love to travel, to see new places, to be exposed to a variety of life styles and cultures. It is, though, whether due to financial reasons or disabilities, not always possible to go to all the places we wish to see. At the same time, so many of the television shows about such locations are staged (i.e. nature and animals) and unrealistic, and others are seen from the myopic point of view of the producers and writers (and governments). Web Cams, although static, can thus provide us with a glimpse of locations we might not otherwise get to see.
There are tens of thousands of web cams available with hundreds added daily. Due to limited space, we have selected seven specific categories plus a listing to web cam indexes so you can find more on your own. If you have a favorite that you feel should be added, please let us know.
Categories
Updated July 27, 2010
To simplify your research, we have several categories. Please scroll down, use the index link, or use your browser's "find" or "search" feature to get the the area you are seeking.
Due to the rapid changes on private web cams, we will eventually be discontinuing sub topic. Those still in operation as of July 27, 2010 will be maintained here until our next review.

Although not a "web cam," we recommend Google Earth. You have to download the software, but it is well worth it. "Google Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips.
- Fly to your house. Just type in an address, press Search, and you’ll zoom right in.
- Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.
- Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings, or look up to explore the sky
- Save and share your searches and favorites."
We try to avoid commercial sites, but in many cases they are the only ones who provide ideas and information. If you are looking to buy or sell, please use a generalized search engine.
NOTE: If the table lines do not show properly, please refresh the page.
