About this cam

This is a long-duration test of a Raspberry Pi streaming appliance built by SubAqua Imaging Systems, mounted on a fixed rooftop in San Diego. The operator says the camera angle, audio, overlays and reliability may all change as the system is improved.

This is a long-duration public test of a Raspberry Pi RTSP-to-YouTube livestream appliance built by SubAqua Imaging Systems, mounted on a fixed rooftop in San Diego, California. The operator states it is a "24/7 Live rail camera" watching passenger trains, freight movements and maintenance vehicles, alongside general city activity.

The operator is explicit that this is an experimental stream: camera angle, audio, overlays and reliability may all change as the system is improved, and short interruptions can occur during testing. As of this check the stream has nonetheless run continuously for well over four months.

The operator publishes no address or map link beyond "Location: San Diego, California, USA" — reconfirmed on this pass; no more precise site has been named.

What to watch for

San Diego Trolley light-rail cars, Coaster commuter trains and freight movements passing the fixed rooftop camera, per the operator's own description.
