Downtown Camera

This is a time-delayed stream of detected motion of Downtown Huntsville from our Downtown Branch. The image automatically updates when motion is detected, and is delayed by at least 1 minute. Explore the controls and up to 7 days of stored imagery by tapping or clicking on the image itself.

View a time lapse archive of this feed through the years. Note that 2020 is split in two, as a camera failure required a different style replacement camera. You should also note that the beginning of 2023 is missing, as a software change took the camera off-line for nearly 9 months.
