A website that allows voyeurs to watch people inside their homes through their own webcams includes streams from Sussex residents.

The Russian website has more than 584 feeds from locations in the UK that show children's bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, factories and shops.

There are four feeds in Brighton - one shockingly showing a live feed from the lounge of a Brighton resident. On the wall are easily identifiable pictures of children.

Another from Brighton shows a camera facing what appears to be a car park.

Other streams showed a man in Crawley watching television on his sofa.

The website accesses the webcams because the owner of them has not changed its password from the manufacturer's default - 'admin'.

Information commissioner Christopher Graham said it may take some time to shut the website down - but assured anybody who might find themselves on the site to simply change the passwords of their webcams from 'admin' to something else.
