Sheffield webcam

Recommended Posts

A webcam on the arts tower or Bishops House would be great for the city. They cost very little to buy and install so shy hasn't it been done?

 

Fair play to the Uni for theirs, but the view is terrible and just reinforces the stereotype that Sheffield is a dump. If you have a camera its logical that you place it on your best view.....

I find the webcam at the Uni campus very useful for when it's snowing. I can check what the traffic's doing and if it's snarled up I know to avoid the Uni roundabout on my way home.

They can eat up a lot of bandwidth if you have it updating too often. Someone has to pay for all these things you know ;)

Yes, but if the Uni has already set one up, then it won't take up any more bandwidth to move it from what it's currently looking at to something more picturesque.

"It's not in my job description" or "I'm not qualified/insured to move it" are probably some of their excuses :P
