  • Info: Live streaming webcam showing seismic activity monitoring in California, USA. The live stream is from a RaspberryShake 4D professional-grade seismograph located in Chino Hills, which is approximately 40 miles (64 km) east of downtown Los Angeles.



More info: The RaspberryShake is located in the owners backyard approximately 2ft underground in a homemade seismic vault to reduce background noise. The RaspberryShake can detect small local as well as larger distant quakes.

A Raspberry Shake 4D (RS4D) is a compact, low-cost, personal seismograph that combines a geophone (velocity sensor) with three accelerometers to detect and record ground motion, including earthquakes. It's powered by a Raspberry Pi computer and is designed to be accessible to science enthusiasts and researchers for monitoring seismic activity, both strong motion and micro-seismic events.
