1: Above the entry passage looking down onto the back
wall of the tomb (this is the main camera) |

| Camera 2: Ouside the tomb looking West towards the Hoy Hills (mainly used to give an idea of current weather conditions close to sunset) |  |

| Camera 3: In the East chamber looking out towards the entry passage |  |

In previous years we have had the cameras up for less time and originally
there were only two cameras, with the outside camera being added in
December 1999. Camera positions have been changed slightly throughout
the years we have operated the webcams. In 2012 we installed
new POE high resolution IP cameras with much better images and we hope
reliability.
