photojojo: Cameras cleverly disguised as lumps of snow were able to catch some rare and amazing photos and vid of these endangered polar bears. They almost went by unnoticed ‘til one Polar Bear destroyed $200,000 worth of camera equipment (the whole thing was caught on photo and video). Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice Whoever’s saying that these cameras went unnoticed clearly didn’t actually watch the documentary.

Recommended Live Polar Bear Cams

I don’t know why I dedicate my life to searching for the next best live cam that features polar bears, but here, have some links.

San Diego Zoo Polarcam Reasonably good quality, and zookeepers adjust the camera throughout the day to ensure a good view of the bears.

AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera This is the HOLY GRAIL of live cams. You can adjust the zoom, focus, panning, tilt, etc yourself, assuming that nobody else is messing with it. You might have to search around for the bears, and sometimes they’re just not visible, but it’s definitely worth it when they are.

Bonus: Edinburgh Zoo Penguin Cam If for some reason the above links didn’t work for you, or it’s nighttime so you’ve just been presented with a few blobs in a dark grainy rectangle and now you feel cheated out of a need to see live polar bears that you didn’t realise you had - here, try looking at some penguins instead.
