FogCam publishes one image at a time and overwrites it with the next, every 20 to 60 seconds, and has done so since September 30, 1994. That is roughly 50 million frames published across three decades. Outside of what has been archived, they no longer exist: no earthquake footage, no fog seasons, no campus construction, no student who waved at the lens.
What survives: the 126,862-frame community rescue of August to October 2019, recovered fragments from 2005 to 2018, Dan Wong's 1995 QuickCam photographs, and complete coverage since July 14, 2026, all at Fog-Bank, the FogCam archive.
