Vesuvius — Live Volcano Cameras
80 live cameras within 25 km of Vesuvius' crater — Naples - Mount Vesuvius (SkylineWebcams). Free, no signup.
Vesuvius is watched the way Naples has always watched it: as the skyline. This wall holds every catalogue camera within 25 km of the crater — the bay city's dense network of scenic, street and motorway feeds, with the volcano standing in frame as it has for two thousand years.
These are landscape cameras, not crater feeds, and the page says so. Their subject is the relationship between a city of a million people and the mountain in its postcard — the cone over the bay at dawn, the plume-less quiet sky, the weather arriving across the water. INGV monitors the volcano itself; these cameras monitor its presence.
Best time to watch Vesuvius
Sunrise is the Vesuvius hour: the cone clears first, the bay light comes up under it, and the dedicated Naples view earns its name. Haze eats the mountain by midday in summer; winter mornings and the hour after rain give the sharpest frames.
Eruption status is not read off a webcam: confirm what you are seeing with the Italy's INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) 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.
The cameras that carry Vesuvius's name
How to watch Vesuvius 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 Italy's INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia).
- 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.
