At a place named Othello by the Kettle Valley Railway when it went through here over a century ago, these webcams are well marked by a big yellow sign advising that "When Amber Flashing Severe Winter Conditions Ahead - Reduce Speed". The webcam is mounted on the light standard just behind the sign and both are just a bit west of an overhead marquee sign which will often say essentially the same thing.
Sign, light standard and webcam are on the south side of the highway, this one looking west toward Hope.

Given that it's possible to "Replay The Day" on the web cam's web page, one need only stand at the coordinates for at least two minutes to ensure that they're captured on a minimum of one frame, then find and save the appropriate image later that day. Alternatively, if one has an internet connection in their hand tuned to the URL below, they only need wait until they appear on their screen, then save that frame.
The image below is essentially real time and will update every 2 minutes, but only if you update the page manually. BC Highway webcams are owned and operated by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. They are accessible online at
DriveBC.
