Security cameras without password settings or access restrictions are released indiscriminately, and more than 1000 security cameras in Japan are also released.

Insecam can be accessed from the above URL, and it is possible to peek at security cameras around the world. Select 'Countries' from the menu at the top to display a list of countries where security camera footage can be viewed. The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of security cameras, and at the time of writing the article, 1333 security cameras were registered in Japan. Try clicking 'Japan' ......

Images from security cameras in Japan are displayed in thumbnail format. The images of security cameras that are open to the public are updated in real time, so be careful as you do not know what will be projected.

You can also do an advanced search from the search bar at the top of the screen. For example, if you enter 'Tokyo' and press the search button, you can narrow down to security cameras in Tokyo.

When you click the displayed thumbnail ......

You can check not only the images of the security cameras, but also detailed information such as the location and model of the security cameras.

In addition, there are also security cameras that cannot be confirmed in detail.

If the security camera you manage is in insecam, you can delete the video from insecam by setting a password for the security camera. If you want to delete from insecam without setting a password, you can apply for deletion from the email address in 'Contacts' on the top menu.

Also, the FAQ states that 'insecam is not hacking the camera, it only lists cameras that do not have password protection'. The cameras that are open to the public in insecam are security cameras connected to the Internet, and it seems that USB cameras connected to PCs and internal cameras of notebook PCs are not handled.
