Risk Map & Public Webcams

Risk map (war / attack / escalation)

Open: risiko-karte\risiko-karte.html (double-click). Shows a schematic map of Europe in which the local AI colours the risk of escalation/war for each region daily (level 1–5), with a one-sentence explanation each. Your home location from the setup is marked.

Regions assessed: Germany, Switzerland/Austria, Poland/Baltic states (NATO eastern flank), Ukraine/Russia, Scandinavia/Baltic Sea, Benelux, France, Middle East.

Setup:

Nothing to enter in the script — location and language come from EINRICHTEN.bat, the news sources from the OSINT analysis (guide 16)
risiko-karte\risiko-autostart-einrichten.bat as administrator → updates daily at 07:00
Test/now: risiko-karte\risiko-karte-START.bat (the local AI/Ollama must be running, guide 07)

Basis: public international news (e.g. BBC, Al Jazeera, France 24, DW) + official warnings. Not a substitute for official situation reports — at a high level, check your warning app/radio and use the evacuation widget (guide 14). Updating needs the internet; the latest state remains readable offline.

Clickable webcam map

Open: webcam-karte\webcam-karte.html. Interactive map of public webcams without an API key, collected by webcam-karte\webcam-scan.ps1 (automatically at start-up and every 2 hours):

Panomax (panorama cameras, mainly in the Alpine region)
foto-webcam.eu (high-resolution cameras, mostly in the Alps and the Alpine foothills)
OpenStreetMap (public cameras mapped in OSM around your home location)

Density varies a lot: many cameras in the Alpine region, often only a few elsewhere.

Offline images: the ~40 camera images closest to your home location are saved locally (webcam-karte\cache\). Without internet, the map automatically shows this last image with a timestamp.
On the right, the list of the nearest cameras (click to jump to the camera). Layers for each source can be toggled at the top right.
Official traffic portals as link markers (see table below).
Optional Windy: only with a free key for the Webcams API (api.windy.com/keys). A key for "Map/Point Forecast" is rejected — the map also works without it. Enter the key as described under "Accounts & keys" on the website, or with sicherheit\SCHLUESSEL-EINTRAGEN.bat (stored encrypted).

Live images need the internet; without a network, the map, locations and saved images remain usable. Use: before a journey/evacuation, see the real situation along the route and at border crossings. Legally sound — only cameras that were deliberately made public are shown (operator platforms and official portals).

Public traffic webcams (official, as bookmarks)

Examples — in other countries, road operators and traffic authorities often offer their own cameras:

Country / operator	What	Address
Germany: Autobahn GmbH (federal motorway company)	motorway traffic cameras	autobahn.de (map view → cameras)
Germany: traffic portals of the federal states	roadworks, disruptions, some cameras	portal of your federal state
Austria: ASFINAG	motorway and expressway webcams	asfinag.at
Switzerland: TCS	webcams on roads and passes	tcs.ch (webcams)
Weather/mountain webcams	panorama, weather	e.g. foto-webcam.eu, bergfex

Use in an emergency: before a journey/evacuation, check the traffic situation on your planned route and at border crossings (traffic jams, closures) — while the internet works.

Why not "all accessible surveillance cameras"

Tools that list unsecured third-party cameras (the Insecam/Shodan principle) access private and company cameras that are not meant for the public. This violates other people's privacy; in Germany, for example, it is generally a criminal offence (unauthorised access, § 202a StGB; data protection law), and unauthorised access to other people's IT systems is prohibited in most other countries too. It also does nothing for your preparedness — only official, deliberately published cameras can be used legally, and they are listed above.
