🔴SFO Airport Live 24/7 Tracking, Aircraft Labelling and ATC Audio in HD Webcam

Description

Hi, I'm Andy — the person behind Luftra Aviation. Welcome to the channel! **** ATC Update: Only tower ATC communication @ 120.5 MHz included for now for more clarity **** **** *Some quick updates, video description below* There has been great input from many for improvements (many thanks for that) that I am looking into , such as - Prioritizing certain aircraft for tracking (large/heavy vs small ones) - Jerkiness of label movement and occasional run-away events - repeated stop-and-go of the vertical (tilt) camera movement, though it's moving at the slowest tilt speed already - including labels for other things like terminals and ground vehicles - more information like origin and destination of tracked aircrafts ******* For years, I’ve been planning to set up a camera overlooking San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and share the amazing activity happening there. Eventually, my passion got the better of me — and I finally made it happen. But instead of just a static livestream of airport operations, I wanted to go a bit further. So I built a system that can track individual aircraft, overlay live flight data, and stream tower and ground radio communications from SFO — all in one real-time feed. To make this possible, all flight data (including ADS-B and ATC) is collected on-site and fed into custom-built software. This software merges everything, identifies tracking targets, and controls the camera. Internal system delays are around 1 second — though streaming platforms like YouTube can introduce an additional ~20 seconds of delay due to buffering. The project has now reached a point where I’m excited to share this live view of SFO with you. It’s still evolving — you might notice a few technical hiccups now and then — but I’m actively working on improvements. Some upcoming features I’m excited about include: ✈️ Smarter target selection for tracking the more interesting aircraft types ✈️ Better camera performance and tracking logic ✈️ More flexible overlays and view modes Currently, the stream features: ✈️ Real-time HD video with aircraft tracking 📡 Live ATC audio from SFO tower and ground 📋 Flight data overlays with callsigns, aircraft model, and flight data 🚀 Many more upgrades on the way Your feedback means a lot — I want to keep improving the experience. And if you enjoy the stream, please consider subscribing to support the channel. Cheers, Andy
