The aim was to record weather conditions, especially the city’s traditional fog. Now the FogCam will be switched off.

FogCam will be turned off on Au0th
According to those responsible for the p Australia Phone Number List roject, it is time to turn off FogCam. Firstly, there are no good and safe places to install it and there is also a lack of support from the university.
The truth is that we don’t have a good vantage point or a place to put the camera. The university tolerates but does not support the project, so we have to look for safe places on our own.
After 25 years, Fogcam is shutting down forever at the end of August. Webdog & Danno thank our viewers and San Francisco State University for their support over the years.
The Internet has changed a lot since 1994, but Fogcam will always have a special place in its history.
