Live cameras in South Africa

South Africa has 836 public cameras on opencam, from 17 sources across 112 towns and regions.

71 of them are scenic webcams — mountains, coasts, lakes and town squares, most of them with a new picture every few minutes. 58 stream live video; the others publish snapshots, which the map asks for again every 5 seconds while you watch.

opencam passes each live picture on as it arrives. It does not record, does not identify anyone and keeps no archive — see where the data comes from and why a camera shows a still image or is offline.
