For those are curious about how the guy found all these webcams. Here is the answer from his FAQ:

Various techniques. A lot of cameras can be found using Google if you know which search string to use (and you have a lot of patience). I also used Shodan (a search engine created by John Matherly) to get a large number of potential webcam feeds. If you've never heard of Shodan before, I recommend watching these videos by Dan Tentler. Whilst I'm hat-tipping people, I should also give a shout-out to the /r/controllablewebcams community on reddit who helped promote this viewer.

This is Virginia Tech... not Haymarket, Virginia. http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=40

Indeed, but I think we have to realize that not all these open cameras are security failings. Some universities and towns just have open cameras so that curious people can watch. I know that Purdue had one near where the band would practice marching so that parents could see the band more frequently.

Network rack, South Korea - http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=3070 Chickens, South Korea - http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=33410 It's kinda weird, I'm just pressing "random" and seeing what comes up. There seems to be more than a few that are "street" views, which gives you view of certain cities. So that's kinda interesting.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The bedroom one is labeled "Sleep Camera" in dutch... I wonder if it's on purpose?

Kamer means room. The slaapkamer then is the bedroom. The other one ("Woonkamer") is the living room.

Ah of course, I thought it was truncated. Using my German to translate Dutch, not always successful :) Love the similarities, "Kammer" means "compartment" or "small room" in German.

Sun Microsystems still representing at UCSD: http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=34899

Gosh I remember walking around my college campus one day and coming across some random computer cluster in the CS building, hopped onto one of the machines (that said "Sun Microsystems" embossed somewhere one it), proceeding to be utterly confused by the KDE applications and interface. (I was purely a Win user back then) I'm now typing this post from an Ubuntu box that I built last week. I guess I've progressed a lit…
