This is very similar to something I've been looking to find for a while. I have a large screen in my living room and I would love to stream/view 1080p video from scenic locations (top of a mountain, overlooking plains, a beach). I've read about the concept in several scifi novels but I've never found good footage to use. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them. A good example is the live stream from the ISS [1] which atm is pointed toward the station but has been pointed towards the earth directly in the past.

Just use any David Attenborough documentary. There are several focused on different things depending on what you want
This looks like a rip-off of Tympanus blog post (2015) [1].

UPDATE:

Seems that there is a mention in the credits section [2]

This seem to just be a frame for rainbowhunt.com ? Any reason why .club is better than .com, or is this a different user "cashing" in?
I'm seeing a templating issue on the timer option in the menu. Great sounds!
I perceive the rain as being on my side of the window.
