Here’s a giggle – somebody’s found a cleverly crafted Google search string that will reveal the (unprotected) web interfaces of a particular kind of Panasonic web-capable security camera. Just point a web browser at http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=inurl%3A%22ViewerFrame%3FMode%3D%22, then select one of the cameras (you might have to try a few before you get a working one). If you get a motorised one, you can even remotely control it! Here’s some I found earlier:
- Night-time right now; looks like some kind of highway-cam
- Night-time: all black – haven’t tried the motor controls yet (could be looking at a wall)
- Terrifyingly, looks like it’s pointed at a cash machine or wall safe
- Daytime when I checked – a car park: a good place to play with the controls
- Outside a building
- My favourite – some guy’s office!
Update 17th August 2011: fixed broken link to Panasonic website!
