I've been learning about IP cameras so we can watch the bird feeders in the garden without having to use binoculars and while Googling view cameras via web browsers I came across Insecam. Browsing some of the UK cameras I found this!


The IP resolves to the University of Warwick, I don't know if these are all C band or something else in the nearby spectrum.

I was bored so I tracked these down to the roof of the Department of Physics building of the University of Warwick. There seem to be four or five there visible from above as a square. I think the camera must be located at the corner of the higher central roof, approximately 52.382417, -1.563233 on Google Maps.

You can see the dishes from Google Street View from Lord Bhattacharyya Way, 52.383863, -1.562796.

As I look at the camera now, one is pointing straight up, two are pointing north-ish, so might be monitoring Hydrogen Line or other space stuff, not C-Band, which would make sense for the Physics department.

Either that's a huuuuuuge jack arm or some perspective which makes everything look bigger than it actually is.

I think the latter applies as I do not remember any such giants when I used to visit my son doing his masters degree there

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

It will be the camera lens that makes the closest dish appear distorted.
