- Germany; not all cameras are working yet; you may get an apparently spurious warning on this page if you are using a McAfee SiteAdvisor browser plug-in; in spite of the flags indicating the site can be viewed in various languages, these make little difference at the moment; webcams require Java; for security reasons, I do NOT recommend that you have Java on your computer.
