Not only do you have to get the correct camera, also be very wary of
security over the internet. Axis cameras have been vulnerable to a url
bug whereby an extra '\' in the url can give admin access in seconds.
Others can be searched for in Google and full control gained - try
pasting these search strings in Google for examples:

intitle:liveapplet inurl:LvAppl
inurl:"ViewerFrame?Mode="
intitle:snc-rz30 inurl:home/
intitle:"Live View / - AXIS"

I like checking out the dancefloor at Bo's Live Saloon in Alice Springs
- Great fun at about 2pm uk time - see if you can find the dancefloorwebcam!

But seriously - dont allow the buggers in!

But that it the point - they are not passworded and allow full control
of the camera inc zoom & pan. Some are intentionally public accessible
but there are a hell of a lot that are not.

I've just tried the stings again - just cut and paste into the main
Google search and they all work for me.

What people also do not realise is that some of these cameras are
mini-pcs - you can access them and use them as a stepping stone for
infiltration into their internal networks. Scary.

just put them into an ordinary google search and you'll get dozens of

The webcam admin often doesn't run on the http port, and passwording
the website won't help.
