ABOUT WEB CAMERAS:
Web cameras or web cams (also known as spy cams) are linked to a computer with
special software and hardware which enables the camera to transmit a picture or
moving image digitally, and then via an Internet connection, onto the Web. Some
web cameras are video cameras which update their screen images in a matter of
seconds, or a few minutes; others are still digital cameras programmed by the
operator to take pictures at regular intervals.

Images may be live and continuous, or selectively transmitted several times
a day, depending upon the operator, the camera, and the Internet connection.
 

TIME YOUR VISIT TO WEB CAMS!
Often, web cams are not operative after dark, show only a black image, or post
a representative image from the preceding daytime images. For maximum
enjoyment, plan your travels during the daytime in the localities you visit!

SELECTED TIME ZONE INFORMATION:
G.M.T. (Greenwich Mean Time) is 10 hours ahead of Hawaii and central Alaska
time, 8 hours ahead of U.S. pacific standard time (California),7 hours ahead of
mountain standard time (Colorado), and 6 hours ahead of central standard time
(Chicago, Texas). Times may vary also due to local and daylight savings time. Note
that the U.S. is now on daylight time, and one hour ahead of standard time.

The following information will soon be reformatted into tables, to increase
compatibility with different browsers and font choices.
