FogCam puts up one picture at a time and overwrites it with the next, every 20 to 60 seconds, and it has done that since September 30, 1994. That is roughly 44 million pictures over three decades. Unless someone saved them, they don't exist anymore: no earthquake footage, no fog seasons, no campus construction, no student who waved at the lens.
What survives: the 126,835 frames fans saved during the August to October 2019 shutdown scare, recovered pieces from 2005 to 2018, Dan Wong's 1995 QuickCam photos, and every frame since July 14, 2026, all at Fog-Bank, the FogCam archive.
