The site

Fog-Bank is a free public archive of frames published by FogCam at San Francisco State University. You may browse, play, and link to everything on the site at no charge. The archive's frame files are served for viewing here; bulk scraping of frames or republishing the archive as a dataset requires our written permission first, via the contribute page.

Adoptions and donations

Frame, day, and month adoptions attach the display name you choose to that part of the archive after we confirm payment. We refuse names that are abusive or impersonate someone else, and refund the payment when we do. Donations and adoptions are voluntary and non-refundable once confirmed and displayed.

Contributed frames

By sending recovered FogCam frames you confirm you may share them and you license Fog-Bank to store, display, and preserve them permanently as part of the public archive, credited to the name you choose.

YouTube

Our videos on youtube.com/@Fog-Bank are published through YouTube API Services. Watching them on YouTube is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

No warranty

The archive is provided as-is. We work to keep capture continuous and the record accurate, and we publish our gaps rather than hiding them, but we make no guarantee of availability or completeness.
