London CCTV OSINT

Transport for London's JamCam traffic cameras on Greater London's main roads, pulled straight from TfL's open data API. Use it to watch traffic, for geolocation research, or to verify photos and videos from London.

TfL JamCams

The camera list, coordinates, and official availability come straight from the TfL Unified API (Powered by TfL Open Data) and refresh every 2 minutes; cameras TfL marks unavailable are hidden. Each camera is an image TfL updates every few minutes, reloaded every minute while on screen. Sectors (central, north, east, south, west) are estimated from coordinates.

OSINT workflow

  • Start with a clear question: which location, what time window, and what you want to verify.
  • Pick a landmark and radius to find the nearest cameras, then export the results (GeoJSON/CSV) as working notes.
  • Match the viewpoint with Street View or Mapillary: camera direction, buildings, signs, and road markings.
  • Use SunCalc for chronolocation: the direction and length of shadows in footage hint at the time it was taken.
  • Watch the live feeds above or on the official portals, and record the source and time of every finding.

Ethics & legal limits

  • This page uses open data only: feeds officially published by their owners and camera locations from OpenStreetMap.
  • Don't access cameras their owners haven't published (for example, cameras with default passwords found on Shodan). That is illegal access under Article 30 of Indonesia's ITE Law.
  • Don't use footage to stalk, identify, or track specific people. Faces and licence plates are personal data protected by Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (No. 27/2022).
  • OSM locations may be incomplete or out of date. If you spot a camera that isn't mapped, add it to OpenStreetMap yourself.
