I added an animation of a days worth of traffic

webmarin is about 300 feet higher and 1000 feet west of my camera (hd-sf.com). The field of view is a trade off with detail. The wider the view the less detail. I’m looking at getting a much higher resolution camera which will allow high res crops of different virtual view ports.

I reserve the right to be wrong about the colocation of the two cameras mentioned above and referenced below.

Both are still impressive.

It certainly is impressive.

I am a voyeur of the San Francisco Bay shipping scene with access to a live AIS feed. If I had an input I would suggest that the camera be shifted left (or wider) to show the whole Bay Bridge. The hd-sf.com scene does not even get to the “B” tower. The webmarin.com image gets just beyond the “C” pier. A mariner would love to see the the edge of Yerba Buena Island to include the DE span of COSCO BUSAN fame.

Even with the “limited” view there are impressive operations available. On the evening 29 March I was able to see imagery (on webmarin) and AIS of the cruise ship CELEBRITY MERCURY departing SFO 35 for Astoria. The imagery was mostly lights but very neat.

Both efforts are a slick addition to the local scene and provide a testing ground for new concepts.

I had stumbled on the hd-sf.com site a few days ago while looking at impressive webcam imagery located at webmarin.com. I think that the webmarin image is derived from the hd-sf.com camera located the hills above Sausalito. I had missed the 30 day composite on hd-df which may be very new. The direct url is:
