A Web Camera
A bit of history about Web cam's
The very first Webcam was Started in 1991 in the computer science department of Cambridge University. Today there are tens of thousands of webcam's around the world that provide views into homes, offices and other buildings as well as providing panoramic views of cities and the countryside. There are several which feature Staffordshire villages which you may not have seen before, so here is my chance to introduce you to some of them.

There are a wide range of webcams online, some offer a static jpg image of a scene that is updated every few minutes, some use a sequence of images that update every second or so to give the effect of video (albeit rather poor quality). With Broadband internet becoming common place these days there are a lot more websites that offer live streaming video, this allows you to see the location as though you were these with people moving around and traffic flowing etc.


Certain web cam sites require you to install a small plug-in for your browser, these normally allow extra functionality to the webcam viewer such as the ability to control the angle of the webcam.
In my list I have detailed which cameras work on an iPhone too.

Do you want to put your own Staffordshire webcam online for the world to see? Creating your own webcam for the internet is quite easy. All you need is a pc that’s turned on most of the time (ideally all the time), a broadband internet connection, a webcam and a piece of software that will put the view onto the internet so people can see it. And of course finally you need a view for the camera out of your window or your garden which shows off your village.

If you live in Staffordshire and would like your webcam to be featured on my Staffordshire Webcams page then please get in touch providing all the details using the contact link at the top of this page.
It would be great to build up a large collection of staffordshire webcams so ex-pats can get an idea what it’s like here. The only rules are it must be in the county of staffordshire and offer a view of the local area.
Just think of the great English scenery that we all take for granted because we live here, wouldn't it be great to share that with the world. Come on let’s put Staffordshire on the webcam map!
Are you aware just how easy it is to put a webcam online, Just to prove how easy it was I tried it my self and was surprised just how simple it was to get a streaming webcam of the bird table in my garden up and running.

Staffordshire webcam list.
Here is a list of current webcams I have found for you that feature content from within the county of Staffordshire. For each webcam I have listed what type of webcam footage it offers and if you need to install a Browser plug-in to view them. If you find any of the webcams are dead then please let me know so I can take them off my list.

If you find any links contain unsuitable content then contact the owner of the website, not me! Please note : The viewing of webcams by children should always be supervised by a responsible parent. You should not allow your children to view webcam sites unattended.
