The view you are seeing is of the Plaza Square in the City of Orange, located at the intersection of Chapman Avenue and Glassell Street. First laid out in 1875, the Plaza Square is the heart of the City's Old Towne Historic District and site of many community activities during the year.

The PlazaCam is the first of the City's traffic monitoring cameras to be put out on to the Internet for the benefit of the public. These cameras, generally located at signalized intersections, are used by the City's traffic engineering staff to monitor traffic flow and ensure intersections and streets are operating properly. The PlazaCam is located at the southeast corner of the Plaza, and connected to Orange City Hall via underground fiber optic line.
