Just Sharing This C Band Webcam in Coventry.

I've been learning about IP cameras so we can watch the bird feeders in the garden without having to use binoculars and while Googling view cameras via web browsers I came across Insecam. Browsing some of the UK cameras I found this!

Live view - AXIS 211M Network Camera

The IP resolves to the University of Warwick, I don't know if these are all C band or something else in the nearby spectrum.

I was bored so I tracked these down to the roof of the Department of Physics building of the University of Warwick. There seem to be four or five there visible from above as a square. I think the camera must be located at the corner of the higher central roof, approximately 52.382417, -1.563233 on Google Maps.

You can see the dishes from Google Street View from Lord Bhattacharyya Way, 52.383863, -1.562796.

As I look at the camera now, one is pointing straight up, two are pointing north-ish, so might be monitoring Hydrogen Line or other space stuff, not C-Band, which would make sense for the Physics department.

Either that's a huuuuuuge jack arm or some perspective which makes everything look bigger than it actually is.

I think the latter applies as I do not remember any such giants when I used to visit my son doing his masters degree there

It will be the camera lens that makes the closest dish appear distorted.
