Mount Merapi — Live Volcano Cameras
25 live cameras within 30 km of Mount Merapi's summit — Volcano Merapi (SkylineWebcams). Free, no signup.
Merapi is Indonesia's most active volcano, watched as closely as any mountain on Earth — and this is one of the few walls in the set that is a monitoring network first: a dedicated volcano camera sits 0.1 km from the wall's centre point, flanked by the Pantauan Merapi observation cameras on its slopes and the Yogyakarta-region network beyond.
The mix is the story. Slope cameras read the dome and the gas; the city and district feeds at the wall's edge show the million-person region that lives in Merapi's reach. Indonesia's PVMBG carries the volcano's official alert level; this page carries the ground it applies to.
Best time to watch Merapi
Merapi's dome glows and sheds at night — the slope cameras earn their keep after dark, when incandescent rockfalls show as brief bright traces. Dawn is the clarity window: the summit is usually clearest before the day's cloud builds, and the gas plume's drift reads cleanly against a morning sky.
Eruption status is not read off a webcam: confirm what you are seeing with the Indonesia's PVMBG (Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) before drawing conclusions from any single frame.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to watch Merapi on the map
- 1Start with the named cameras: the highlights at the top of this page are the wall's anchor viewpoints — open them first for the volcano itself.
- 2Check the timestamp before trusting the frame, and read the weather panel: plumes, ash and cloud are easy to confuse at a glance.
- 3Confirm what you're seeing against the responsible observatory — here, the Indonesia's PVMBG (Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation).
- 4Switch on the earthquake layer on the globe to see the seismic activity under and around the volcano — eruptions are seismic stories.
- 5During unrest, recheck across hours: episodes build, peak and stop, and the regional cameras catch the aftermath — plumes, closures, glow after dark.
