| Description |
| Webcams are cameras where the feed is publicly available |
| Tags |
One can map where cameras are that people can watch a feed from over the Internet, often called a "webcam".
How to Map
Set a node at the location of the camera. Tag it with man_made=surveillance and surveillance=* and the URL of the stream as contact:webcam=*.
Tags to use in combination
required tags:
- man_made=surveillance - States that there is surveillance
- surveillance:type=camera - States that it is a camera
- surveillance=* - States the type of surveillance
Recommended:
- camera:type=fixed/panning/dome - What type of camera it is fixed, panning or a dome camera
- name=* - The name of the webcam
- camera:direction=* - The direction the webcam in pointing in
Optional:
- camera:mount=* - How/where the camera is mounted
- operator=* - The operator of the camera
- description=* - A description of the view of the camera
- surveillance:zone=* - The zone in view of the camera
Rendering
- Surveillance under Surveillance shows you cameras and guards - watching you - almost everywhere. You can see where they are located and, if the information is available, what type they are, the area they observe, or other interesting facts.
Possible tagging mistakes
Sometimes the website=* or url=* is used for the URL of the webcam. While this is not wrong, it is not the most used key.
