This week, EarthCam installed its newest 5G webcam from the highest point in the nation’s capital – the Washington Monument. The camera is located in a secret, 3" diameter hole that engineers drilled in 2011 to allow climbers to rappel down the monument and inspect earthquake damage.

EarthCam used 3D-printed components and a laser-cut lens to maximize the image quality with their custom 5G camera, which now provides new, wide-angle views of the city.
