Funding & Editorial Disclosure

Keeping the lights on.

Running a high-bandwidth video platform across an island network isn't cheap. We use Google AdSense to cover the server and streaming costs of keeping these 60+ Madeira webcams online and free for everyone.

I'm a local resident handling the maintenance, server logistics, and streaming infrastructure. Every ad impression directly pays for the cloud hosting, ISP bills at the camera locations, and replacing weather-damaged equipment after fierce Atlantic winter storms.

None of the editorial content, webcam placements, or local guides are influenced by our advertising partners. The goal is simple: keep the feeds stable, provide honest travel realities, and maintain a free public resource for everyone who loves this island as much as we do.
