When you think planespotting paradise, St Maarten (SXM) immediately comes to mind. Our new 24/7 automated camera puts you as close to the action as you can get without actually standing on the beach. This camera is fully automated, using Flightradar24 ADS-B data to precisely track aircraft with a PTZ camera from CamStreamer hosted by Showme Caribbean Live Cams. Just like our live stream in Las Vegas, live ATC audio is included in the stream.
How it works
The camera in St Maarten is located just north of the runway on the east side of the airport. Fully automatic aircraft tracking is provided by the PlaneTracker App from CamStreamer, running on the AXIS Q6318-LE PTZ camera using ADS-B data from Flightradar24 to aim the camera and provide an on-screen overlay so you’ll always know which flight you’re seeing.
Live ATC audio is integrated into the feed, capturing the interaction between pilots and the St Maarten air traffic control tower.
We’re looking for camera hosts
