Tower Webcams
The recent meeting of the Edinburgh Airport Consultative Committee suggested installing a public webcam on EDI's tower, objections were raised by ATC that the flashing red light on the camera might confused pilots. What's going on here? I have never seen a public webcam with flashing lights.
The EACC webpage is down at the moment.

Wouldn't have thought lights on a camera would distract aircrew. Reckon it would be a great idea! Would have to be a streaming cam similar to what they have at Edmonton, Alberta.

I don't understand the automatic British "No" to such suggestions. In fact the opposite would be advantageous in the rare event that something happened. Cameras are cheap, plentiful and small.
Hundreds of airports have them.....handy for the aircraft enthusiast......try Salzburg on a Saturday during snow season.....I fly to Dusseldorf quite often...I've even tracked other family members walking through the terminal....very handy.

When I was at LL we asked for CCTV cameras to enable us to see down "blind" cul de sacs - refused on the grounds of cost. Meanwhile, another agency had 32 cameras in the central area to watch road traffic!

Which caused consternation as they could also view inside the carpark's within the central area (considered private property (NCP)).
T2 - The Queen's Terminal, now has in the region of 1800 separate viewing devices (internal and external fixed and Pan-Tilt & Zoom) across the estate - and that's just one terminal.
