Nova Scotia Webcams has more than 70 live cameras broadcasting in HD quality 24/7 year-round. Some update quite frequently, on the order of every 3 to 5 seconds, while others stream live video. To visit a webcam one needs to stand in the field of view for only 10 to 20 seconds to be assured of being captured on several frames. Then, at the webcam's web page one may play back that day's video to capture their image. Playback occurs at the rate of about one frame per second or, in some cases, more. Alternatively, if your phone or tablet is in your hand and tuned to the webcam, a wait of only a few seconds at most is required before you'll appear on your screen.
The Halifax Waterfront
The Cable Wharf - once home to working Cable Ships and also housed cables that were laid on the ocean floor allowing for future communications around the world.
The Halifax Waterfront is both a picturesque destination – and Nova Scotia’s most visited location. Sparkling water, a thriving downtown business core, a working port and harbour traffic combine to make this a natural meeting point for locals and tourists.
Waterfront Development aims to harness the potential of our unique waterfront resources by maximizing public access to the water’s edge and creating memorable spaces and experiences that enrich Nova Scotia’s cultural and economic opportunities year-round.
