26'000 Webcams

2013-04-04T05:03:00.000-07:00

Since it's been not so long ago (about 1 month), when we announced 25'000 webcams - we just say: wow!

We are very happy that we receive so many webcam submissions each day. And already, we are looking forward to the "27'000 Webcams" announcement!

We recently updated our webcam submission policy in such way, that we hope to be more transparent to our users in order to give you a more precise idea of what webcams we are looking for and looking forward to.

In case you are considerung adding a webcam for free yourself to webcams.travel right now, let us inspire you by showing a few webcams we love to watch:

Just open www.webcams.travel in your mobile phone or go directly to m.webcams.travel to visit our mobile version of the classic website. It was specially designed for the use on the go, therefore the menu looks a little different:

Selected moments of selected webcams

2012-10-03T08:51:00.000-07:00

Ever missed a nice view of a webcam? Or wondered how the landscape would look like in a different light? Or in different weather conditions?

For about 4'000 of the webcams at webcams.travel, we now show nice snapshots or snapshots that differ from the usual view. We call them "selected moments". You'll find these selected moments right below the webcam image. Click on one of the three thumbnails to see more selected moments in a bigger size. Have a look and check out this webcam

The "selected moments" are provided by Upicto. Upicto is a start-up that developed this tool to provide automated snapshots of webcams. With their technology they can choose snapshots of moments that show something special, that is different from the usual view the webcam shows.

We are currently testing their tool with a subset of the webcams on webcams.travel.

Here are a few more webcams that have the "selected moments" enabled:

Worldscope Webcams Android App Update

2011-11-28T07:17:00.001-08:00

A new major version of our Android App "Worldscope Webcams" has been released by the Kukurin Android Team. "With many webcam apps in Android Marketplace, Kukurin Android Team had to make the Worldscope Webcams app the best webcam viewer that displays thousands of updated webcam shots comfortably on a user’s Android powered device." it says.

“In my opinion, the biggest advantage of Worldscope is the huge database of webcams; over 16,000 and growing,” states Goran Kukurin, Worldscope’s founder and CEO. “Our partnership with Webcams.travel gives us a few advantages; one being as soon as a webcam is added in their database, it’s immediately available for our app users.”

One of the best features of Worldscope Webcams is the ability to set a desired location’s webcam as a homescreen background. As the webcam refreshes throughout the day, the images on the homescreen also refresh. The user automatically sees what is happening hundreds or even thousands of miles away on their Android device’s homescreen. Worldscope Webcams’ homescreen function sets anyone’s Android device as a private webcam oasis with 16,000+ potential updated images.

Anyone who has ever traveled knows the feeling of wanting to revisit a prior destination. "I've set my wallpaper images to stream from a webcam in New York City’s Mid-Town Manhattan. That was my first home and it feels good to see the taxi cabs and buses go by on my phone throughout the day," said Lana Moore, Worldscope’s Marketing Assistant. “I currently live in South Carolina, USA, so I feel like I have a piece of the city with me at all times.”

Other functions of Worldscope Webcams include the ability to search for webcams near specified locations, on a map, or using keywords, saving webcams on favorite a list, and sharing on various social media streams, just to name a few.

Worldscope Webcams is a free, ad-supported app that can be converted to ad-free through an easy in-app purchase through PayPal. Kukurin Android Team is dedicated to their app users by focusing on improving the overall functionality of the Worldscope Webcams app adding new features for a more robust user experience.
