Belmont's Live Webcam


 
Welcome to the Chamber's new webcam, shooting from outside our office in the Stowe Building and showing a live 24/7 view of Historic Downtown Belmont's North Main and Catawba Street intersection in front of City Hall. Because of the tremendous response to the camera, we've decided to keep it running while updating our website. The new site will make possible some enhanced camera features. You can see those features now (and get better views on mobile devices) at www.earthcam.com. Tell family and friends about the webcam and share it on social media. It's purpose is to help the Chamber spread the news that Belmont and eastern Gaston County are great places to live, visit and start or relocate a business.
