FogCam went online at San Francisco State University on September 30, 1994, built by students Jeff Schwartz and Dan Wong. It is the world's oldest webcam still operating. For 32 years it published a new photograph every 20 to 60 seconds and kept none of them: each frame overwrote the last.
Fog-Bank began capturing on July 14, 2026 and has stored every frame FogCam published since, timestamped and sha-256 verified. Together with the 126,862 frames fans saved during the 2019 shutdown scare, the archive holds more than 129,000 frames and grows around the clock.
