In reply to Mike. Mike, your comment is useless and not at all appreciated!

For once I’m impressed.There is no lag and picture quality is good enough to make out things in the distance.

In reply to ciccio. Not really. The side where The Manwel Mallia water fountains are located is outside the range of the webcam. So it does look that the orientation of the camera lens might well be intentional. Manwel Mallia is minister responsible for security, is he not?

Put face recognition in, a few more webcams managed by the Police Force (that manages this), a merge between Transport Malta and Identita Malta (Isn’t this also under Manwel Mallia?) and Big Brother is active.

Who knows, with the circle of friends Manwel Mallia has, the crack team will be watching to know when houses are empty.

Glad to note Gozo is spared the invasion of privacy – that we know of.

Beware of hackers using “vxxxxxx@tritonmalta.com” to gain access.

What happened to those “photos of each facade” exercise?

Big brother is watching you at all times and at so many sites.

The webcam includes four or five other venues. Nahseb anki kelb qed ixarrab mal-hajt jehel ma rashom.

What’s happened to the guards usually seen standing to attention at the Palace entrance? Even at 8 am, there’s no sign of them. Did some army underling complain that this is toomacc and that it doesn’t make sense to stand there when il-Palazz maghluq?

I am sure there used to be two soldiers stationed there. Have we replaced them with this cam?

I suppose they are now stationed at the Grand Harbour guarding tankers.

In reply to Rabti. The benches that were in the centre of the square seems to have been removed, maybe on the 30th of April for the PN meeting. If this is so, it is about time to put them back in their place.
