i was looking for hidden cctv cameras with googles "inurl" private feature (basically gives you ip addresses instead of a normal search) i do this to find indian tech scammers and get into their cctv feed
But I found this old guy who dosen't realise that his cctv has no password therefore i can watch, (i am not going to tell you his ip for his privacy) he is in his maybe 50s or 60s and is somewhere in London.
I am trying to find where he lives or his phone number so i can tell him that his cctv has no password and many people are watching him but i FOR THE LIFE OF ME i just cannot seem to find this guys exact location (all i know is that he is somewhere in London because in camera 3 there is terraced houses and a black London taxi)
Do you guys know any way i can pinpoint this guys location (websites ect) i just want him to realise that his cctv is free on the internet with multiple people watching him. Im just helping, Thank you!
I'm 99% sure that he's an amateur radio operator. He's got half a dozen VHF/UHF transceivers (the little boxes with green displays) which suggests that he's operating a repeater or gateway of some description. The smaller rack on his desk includes another couple of transceivers and what looks like a couple of antenna tuners. The big 19" rack at the back has some networking gear and a big linear power supply for the radio stuff.
None of that kit is easy to set up, which suggests to me that the CCTV feed is intentionally set up without a password. Repeaters like that are often funded and operated by a club rather than an individual, with a number of people responsible for ensuring that it's operating correctly. Amateur radio operators are used to sacrificing a certain level of privacy, because a) we aren't allowed to use any form of encryption on the airwaves and b) we have to identify ourselves with an OFCOM-issued callsign, which is tied to our real identity and the location of our station.
If OP is determined to find the guy, it wouldn't be particularly difficult to look up a list of active repeaters/gateways in London.
>>456297 This looks like an amateur HAM setup. The camera would not be there if it was not wanted. Maybe he didn't exactly want to share it with the world, but making international contact to random strangers is a hammies dream!
Now look, I know this is a little bit esoteric, and I hate to be THAT MOD, but if you capitalise ham again I'm going to smack you on grammatical bounds. It's ham radio, not capitalised and not an abbreviation or acronym for anything.
Hamradiolad/s, if you needed to set up an urban pirate radio station that was difficult-to-impossible for the authorities to shut down, how would you go about that? If money was no obstacle, but getting caught could be fatal?
The traditional option used by urban pirates is a microwave uplink. You've got a transmitter on the roof of a tower block, a studio somewhere within line of sight and a narrow-beam microwave link connecting the two. You use some kind of alarm system to alert the studio if the transmitter is being tampered with; if that alarm goes off, you immediately shut down the microwave uplink. It's easy enough for the authorities to find the transmitter, but practically impossible for them to trace it back to the studio.
This approach is very well documented and has been in use for over 30 years by the major London pirates, with (as far as we know) a 100% success rate in preventing the studio from being busted. Studios do still get busted, but mainly due to human factors - someone runs their mouth, the neighbours complain due to noise, the authorities see people coming and going at all hours and think it's a crack den.
The better organised stations have multiple transmitter locations, allowing them to immediately switch to a backup transmitter if the active transmitter was seized by the authorities. A basic transmitter with a microwave link can be constructed for a couple of hundred quid, so regular seizures are just a cost of doing business.
A more modern twist on this would be to use a 4G data link in place of the microwave link. This adds some risks in terms of information security (you'd want to use prepaid SIMs and strong encryption) but it gives more flexibility in terms of the location of the studio and the positioning of the transmitter. If money is genuinely no object, then you could potentially use drones as a platform for your transmitters. A high-altitude-long-endurance platform like the PHASA-35 can spend months at a time in the air.
If you're trying to beam signals into an oppressive regime and have a big budget, you're probably better off with shortwave. It isn't popular in the developed world, but shortwave is still an important medium in much of the developing world. Radio frequencies between about 2MHz and 30MHz will bounce off the higher layers of the atmosphere, so can travel immense distances. Shortwave is how stations like the BBC World Service or Voice of America can broadcast into countries like Iran or China. You need massive amounts of power and a huge antenna array, but you can broadcast from thousands of miles away from your listeners.
Of course, all of this is for nought if whichever authorities involved are sufficiently determined to jam your signal. China operate an enormously powerful network of transmitters, nicknamed "firedrake" by radio enthusiasts, specifically designed to blot out foreign radio stations that the authorities dislike. There are radio technologies like FHSS and UWB that are extremely resistant to jamming, but using them would require purpose-built receivers.
If you're interested in this topic, you should probably check out Ringway Manchester on YouTube. He's a radio enthusiast with a particular interest in weird and surreptitious radio activities - pirates, spy stations, sneaky-beaky military stuff etc.
In the UK, a system called RAJAR. A representative sample of people are given a diary and asked to make a note of what they listen to throughout the day. It's not particularly high tech, but it's the only practical method because there are so many ways of listening to radio.
>>456357 Do you know if radio broadcasters use algorithmic processes when schedualing programmes? I've often noticed apparent, subtle, connections in content matter between programmes on BBC Radio 4 Extra - mostly single unusual words, but sometimes themes, that seem to extend through the day. It sounds schizophrenic I know, but I swear it's affected one way or another.
Commercial music broadcasters (and their BBC equivalents) use a fairly straightforward system of playlisting. The playlist is compiled each week based on the station management's assessment of the most popular songs among their listenership. The list is tiered, with the big hits being in the A list and new or fading songs down in the C list.
Daytime DJs have an hourly quota, with the requirement to play a certain number of songs from each list - more from the A list, fewer from the B and C list. Shows will typically start and end with an A list song and they'll usually schedule A list songs before and after things like news bulletins, to keep listeners hooked at a moment when they might be inclined to change stations. DJs will usually have a certain number of "free play" slots, allowing them to play their own choice of song (subject to pre-approval by management).
There are persistent questions about the integrity of playlists - it's illegal to pay or otherwise induce a radio station to include a song on their playlist, but obviously record labels have a very strong incentive to get their music onto radio playlists. In the interests of transparency, the BBC publish their playlists each week.
Radio 4 Extra mainly broadcasts archive material, so (outside of themed slots like The Comedy Club) any patterns you're noticing are almost certainly just coincidence. Recurring themes on a station like Radio 4 or LBC are primarily driven by topical concerns.
Located his ip address and camera link his camera is in London as I geolocated it using some online software and I am happy to leak his camera ip address and link to go and watch what he does on camera btw he smokes and drinks a lot.
