Kinda cool. There is some loud wildlife there!

They are 7+ hours ahead.

I've seen a huge heard of water buffalo, zebras, baboons, gazelle, some other hoofed animal, lions, birds, geese...

Sometimes... not much...

At night it's infrared.

Pretty cool!

Apparently something flew into the camera... stay tuned!

The sound is kind of peaceful, but you're right, quite loud. Every once in a while I'll hear a crunch crunch but still haven't seen much.

Thats gonna be on all day!! Thanks for sharing

Posted by: race914 Nov 17 2006, 06:31 PM

Been checking it out occasionally and it looks like something happened. You can't see the water hole & trees in the background anymore and there is "something" making a pretty good 'chomping' sound!

Cool site! Thanks for sharing

The grass is growing!!!

Just kidding.

Pretty cool actually.

Posted by: Qarl Nov 17 2006, 11:19 PM

It's back up! Not a lot of action (except for the noisy birds!)

Posted by: iamchappy Nov 19 2006, 07:05 PM

I've visited this site a dozen times, at all times of the day and I just now saw a bug..

Posted by: LvSteveH Nov 20 2006, 01:16 PM

I have to admit, after having it open while working on the computer since the link was posted I was starting to think it was a cruel joke. Well, I've finally seen a duck, a frog, a bird, an antelope of some sort, and finally, last night, a couple water buffalo.

It's certainly not something you would want to sit and watch on a regular basis. The best part is if you have the sound on for a while, then shut it off, you realize how unbelievably loud it is and you just get used to it.

Posted by: iamchappy Nov 20 2006, 01:23 PM

I finally saw a turtle and some geese...

Posted by: biosurfer1 Nov 20 2006, 01:29 PM

i have watched for a while several times and havent seen a damn thing, but i know they are there because of the sound...

until i see a tiger attack a cheetah or something, the sound is the only good part:)

since the video isnt that great, i keep staring at rocks convinced its moving...lol

Posted by: jsteele22 Nov 20 2006, 03:41 PM

Wow, that is pretty cool. I had to install new software to watch it (MPLayer, for Linux) but it was worth it. It's oddly compelling to sit and watch nothing happen. The audio makes all the difference.


A couple of years ago, someone posted a way to use Google to locate installations of a certain brand of security camera that were installed without password protection. Mostly boring, but there was a cool one showing flooding in CA, a student computer center in Finalnd, and a petstore on the East Coast where two young girls were playing with a puppy. All in all, I'd say the watering hole idea wins. It'd be cool to have a "snapshot button" that people could use to make a gallery of stuff they've seen there.

Posted by: Joseph Mills Nov 20 2006, 06:35 PM

I'm seeing birds (or insects), fly by and what looks like shooting stars, but that doesn't seem probable.

Anyone besides me hear human "voices" in the background?



Is this a joke?

Just imagine if we actually did a live web cam in a garage..LOL

Funny! I just saw the shooting stars also!! Imagine that!!

My audible email notification is "gigadee gigadee gig-a-dee." I had the watering hole screen up. I got an email and my first thought was, "WTF is Quagmire doing in Africa?"

Posted by: JPB Nov 20 2006, 06:52 PM

Ya, ya. With Swedish chics wwwwwwwaxing the car in skimpy little nothing outfits and occasional tear it all of wet spong fight!!

Who wants ta make a dolla?

Posted by: iamchappy Nov 20 2006, 09:17 PM

It is sunrise right now at the abandoned water hole.

Posted by: jsteele22 Nov 20 2006, 09:32 PM

Cool, just saw a giraffe. First time I've been up for sunrise in a looong time...

Posted by: Qarl Nov 20 2006, 09:35 PM

Strangely, there hasn't been a lot of activity... it rained a lot the other day and perhaps there is water elsewhere.

I have seen zebra, gnu, water buffallo, baboons, ducks, and a lion.

Someone needs to do this with a 914 jack stand project. We likely see just as much action.

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 20 2006, 10:09 PM

wohoo, that was trippy ..


looks like the camera is remote-controlled!
i just checked and all of the sudden, the thing moves. zooms in on the waterhole, pans around, zooms in on some animal tracks, zooms back out, does a full 180 deg. panorama, then goes back to center on the waterhole.

looks like someone got the joystick for this thing ...

btw. you can see the shadow of the camera right now, must be either early morning or late in the day, long shadows ...

They have it zoomed in on some Giraffe!!

They are panning around!

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 20 2006, 10:20 PM

the camera is mounted to a tree or stump, got a solar panel and a little satelite dish!

look at these screenshots ...

It's not pre-recorded...

Yes... Giraffes... humping...

Posted by: kconway Nov 20 2006, 10:40 PM

I could have sworn I saw some dude ride into frame on horseback, who ever is working the cam quickly moved it so you couldn't see him...somethings fishy. Probably all going on on some Hollywood backlot...just like the apollo missions.

Posted by: Qarl Nov 20 2006, 10:43 PM

This whole thing is a hoax. The camera is actually located in the desert outside Barstow California.

Its a wild life preserve.. of course it is going to be busy!! They are all protected. I doubt you are going to see any lions unless they control access somehow.

Whoever is in control of the camera, has a strange fetish for animal sex. Turtles are goin at it now.. I would think as slow as they move, they could go for an hour before reaching, umm. Well you know. Not true.. I had to laugh when he got off and went to the frig for some cold pizza and the remote..

Hey Karl, I briefly checked out your site and it looks like you have a pretty nice set up there. Where in Orlando are you? I am in Casselberry. I'd like to come check out your car one weekend, if I am ever in town again. I've been debating over a -6 conversion. Maybe your car will convince me?

Posted by: sherman1 Nov 21 2006, 04:22 PM

Cool site!!

Not much activity, but just saw one Big-Ass bug fly by...real slow, just cruising around.

Posted by: JohnnyX Nov 21 2006, 05:23 PM

I keep it running when I am on the computer and have only seen a duck and the black bird. I show my kid the site and while I'm turned away he sees a giraffe go by!!!


Hey- somebody should hack bigfoot walking through the brush and trees in back there.

Posted by: jsteele22 Nov 22 2006, 10:39 AM

Okay, so I saw birds, giraffes, jumping fish, water buffalo (?). But I think they've got a new person running the controls. The camera panned around in a new direction (about 120 degrees CCW from the water hole), and there's a luxury (for Africa) lodge, parking lot full of cars, electric lights. I saw a person walk across the deck. That took a little of the magic out of it, but its still a cool site.

I can tell you've never been to Barstow. It's just like Riverside but with less people.

The animals must be having Thanksgiving too because this place is hopp'n this morning!

Large herd of some type of antelope, oxen, etc. Camera operater is doing a good job of tracking around to see everything.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
