PL EN Auto Public camera directory / Kraków
Kraków live.
Kraków live - streets, skylines and hidden corners, from Tyniec to Nowa Huta. Choose a view and open the live stream.
Choose a camera to open its stream in a window. Video plays directly from the source or through the operator's player. Playback also depends on your browser; if it fails, you can visit the source website. Preview images may differ from the live video.
Website visits and referring sources
Statistics cover successful page requests over the last 7 calendar days, using Polish time. These are not unique visitors: reloads and test visits also count, while some cached views do not reach the logs. Recognised bots are excluded. An unspecified referrer can also mean a visit from an app or a link that hides this information.
All-time statistics cover available logs and subsequent requests retained in an aggregate counter. The first recorded request date marks the start of this summary, not the website launch date.

Cameras on the map Approximate locations of landmarks and views, not exact camera mounting positions. Overlapping numbers are separated by at most 20 pixels; a small dot marks the stored location. Zoom in to distinguish nearby points. A plus sign indicates several cameras with the same stored location; click to see their list. Numbers and colours match the cards below.

Map tiles: OpenStreetMap. Approximate points: WorldCam and OpenStreetMap. The map loads directly from external services.
All views Streets and traffic Panoramas and outdoor views Nature Interiors Refresh previews
Streets and traffic first, followed by panoramas and outdoor views, nature, and interiors. Within groups, views run roughly from the centre to the outskirts. Numbers match the map; temporary availability does not change the order.

Possible research and teaching uses Possible uses include no-reference image quality assessment, HLS playback, buffering and stream interruptions, and the effect of video quality on detection accuracy. These relate to the QoE team's image quality research and the laboratory's teaching activities .
Possible student projects at AGH would focus primarily on counting cyclists, with an extension to other road users: pedestrians, scooter users, motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks and buses.
These projects could compare traffic volumes, composition and directions across selected cameras, assessing accuracy against manual counts. Cyclist counts could also be compared with ZTP traffic measurements , where measurement locations and periods match. Categories should suit the camera view and image quality; not every camera can reliably distinguish all types of road users.
The analysis would produce aggregate results, without face recognition, reading vehicle registration plates or tracking individuals across cameras. The directory itself does not perform these analyses. Before collecting images or starting a study, the operator's terms, required permissions, data scope and privacy safeguards must be established separately.

Visit statistics come from existing server logs. Only aggregate page request counts and referrer categories are published, without visitor IP addresses or full referring URLs. This feature adds no cookies or extra browser tracking. The summary is updated every 15 minutes.
This directory of public Kraków cameras supports research and teaching on image quality, streaming and video analysis. It brings together links, official widgets and available previews from operators' sources. Full streams load directly into the browser without relaying video through the directory's server. The server stores the latest single frame from each of the three AGH cameras and two non-refreshing frames for discussion: HORN and Krakow For You. Other previews load directly from their sources.
The directory does not record streams, identify people or profile their activities. Rights to the material remain with its owners. Each camera identifies its source. The directory grants no additional licence. Further use requires checking the source's terms and obtaining permission where required.
The directory's creator does not operate the cameras shown here. Their operators determine the images, views, availability and source terms. Including a link or preview does not declare a partnership or endorsement by the operator. A research or teaching purpose alone does not authorise recording, copying, redistribution or analysis of the material. Before such use, users should establish an appropriate basis, any required permissions and safeguards for personal data and people's likenesses.
Connecting to an external source shares your IP address and technical browser information with its provider. Players may use cookies or other mechanisms under the provider's privacy policy. Previews may be delayed, paused or archived; each camera's description identifies the preview type. The directory does not bypass access restrictions or browser security and does not guarantee uninterrupted image availability.

Image sources and streaming platforms are identified beside each camera, with a link to the source website. Sources include WebCamera , TOYA GO , PUHIT , IPCamLive , RTSP.ME , WorldCam , Windy , YouTube and AZTV as well as the websites of camera operators, institutions and parishes.
YouTube previews briefly start and pause the official player, one camera at a time and without sound. The image remains in the player and is not copied to the server. The pause time appears below the camera. If your browser blocks autoplay, the operator's thumbnail remains.
For the three AGH cameras, the server retains only the latest frame, including after a restart. Updates happen on page visits, at most once per hour per camera, with no background retrieval when there are no visitors. The previous image remains during an update. The timestamp is the retrieval time; an older frame may remain if the source fails. Previews for Kościuszko Mound, Tyniec and the Łagiewniki basilica are obtained directly in the browser without storage on the directory's server. The Kraków illustration is a placeholder, not a camera frame.
The last retrieved frame remains visible during updates. If the source allows the browser to save the image, a reduced preview is stored locally on this device and shown on the next visit with its retrieval date. For sources that block saving, the frame remains available only until the page is reloaded. Paused YouTube previews are not saved.
