Reading left to write, the buttons are as follows:

C Web and Vidcam Locations.

• There are 3 types of CAM's that may be shown for a place or city.
  
    Clicking the camera icon will take you to a selected webcam site for the city. Sometimes we include 2 webcam sites, especially if one of the webcam sites is controllable. Webcams may update from a few seconds to once a day depending on the site!  Some webcams only operate part of the day.  We try to find one that updates within a minute and operates 24 hours a day.  We prefer outdoor scenes.  
  
  C  If the camera icon has the letter C beside or C on it, it means that the camera is controllable by the user. You will need the appropriate software downloaded to use this camera. This is usually free. Some webcams may use Java applets and you must then enable Java for your browser. (Click here for more information.)
   
    If the camera icon has the letter V on it, it means that the camera is a video camera with real-time sound and motion.  You will need RealPlayer, Windows Media Player or other appropriate software which is usually free.
