While this kind of content is not unprecedented (think Shodan.io), I haven't seen a browser with full previews like this.. Nice!! Good official public webcams are pretty rare so this will be useful to look around the world.
I don't think these are official public webcams. At least, that's how I interpret their FAQ: https://www.insecam.org/en/faq/

Sitting in a cold office in Denmark, I miss travelling to places like this: https://www.insecam.org/en/view/238958/
Years ago there was a Mac screensaver that showed a random insecure camera feed each time it activated. Lots of dark roads and driveways, but weirdly fascinating all the same. Don’t think it’s working any more - maybe this could be the base for a new one.
Imagine someone forgetting to protect the security cams of their meth lab or brothel.

Some of the cameras near me are clearly pointed at scenery. I won't presume anything about why they are pointed at scenery and insecure; but I also won't presume that they are intended to remain private.
I used to have one overlooking the river in my mother's house. I spent a lot of time tuning it so it looked really great, both day and night (at night using really long exposure times). I used high quality webcams at first and then the 5MP raspberry cam (later modded with a better lens).
But even the "1080p" security cams that cost $200 or more have horrible quality compared to those. They're good for security purposes yes, but I wouldn't use them to advertise the views from a hotel.
I really wish there were some really HQ webcams around the world, think 4K or even 8K (so you could zoom in even on a 4K screen), with good night performance, it would be so great to really get a feel for a city. These cams are just so poor.
This is both fascinating and creepy at the same time .. While i enjoy seeing Torino beach video (submitted by another HN'er). Felt creepy seeing this :( https://www.insecam.org/en/view/833447/ Looks like a call center of sorts , essentially an IT company , not keeping their shit secure :(

Still, I'm surprised they pretty much all have such miserable quality. I used to have one overlooking the river in my mother's house.

One camera pointed at a ski slope. (The location was wrong.) For all I know, it could be on some ski slope's web page under "current conditions."
Other cameras have ocean or downtown views.
