Welcome to the Alloa webcam page
This cam should update every 10 seconds or so (or rather it did see below!)
View of Whins Road with the Ochil hills in the background
No sooner I get it up and running and I've been shut down. I had a visit today from officers of Alloa Police Office who have advised they have had a complaint from a member of the public and it would appear that I could be in breach of some privacy law.
Naturally, I have complied with the officers request immediately and will continue to do so unless someone can tell me that what I was doing is not in breach of the law.
For those of you who did not see what I was broadcasting, it was a view facing north up Whins Road in Alloa. In the image was the public road and associated traffic, houses/flats to the left and the Ochil Hills in the background. I carefully aimed the camera so that no close proximity images were transmitted and in no way would the resolution of the images allow any view through a window into anyones home.
The annoying factor is I am surrounded by CCTV cameras operated by the police and I didn't hear of anyone objecting to these!
The bottom line in my opinion is some small minded person who obviously has something to hide (you know who you are and so do I) has spoilt it for others. If you are planning to visit Alloa or the Ochils then I guess you will just have to wait till you get here to see the area.
Any input from the above please email me - this could have consequences for every webcam in the UK

Look to the north and look to the south from my window and what do I see. The position of the north one is very interesting bearing in mind they have a very powerful zoom!
