Live Business Webcams
What business webcams show
Business webcams are set up by companies to show their premises: workshops and garages, farms, laundries, lodges, offices, kitchens and other places where work gets done. Some face the street in front of the building, others look into the working area itself.
For the business, a camera is a form of openness: customers can see a car being repaired, the queue at the counter or the animals on a farm before deciding to come. For viewers it is a glimpse of how ordinary work goes on in other places and time zones — opening up in the morning, the lunchtime rush, closing up in the evening.
The picture follows working hours and the local calendar. At weekends and on public holidays many of these cameras show an empty yard or a closed shutter, and some are switched off outside opening hours. Seasonal businesses such as farms and tourist lodges change with the year: harvest, lambing, the opening and closing of the season.
