The camera is on top of a tv monitor which is suspended from a wall in the Starbucks in Times Square. There are a lot of people in the store so I stand closer to the camera so people don't walk in front of me. I guess if I stood further back I would be smaller. Currently you have your choices of two different backgrounds one is a window at Starbucks the other is a poster on the wall at Starbucks. I wish that they would have more choices for the background but they have had the same two choices since the store opened. As far as having the camera at other locations I'm not sure. The store in Times Square is pretty big so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have a camera at some of their other larger flagship stores. I was told that when Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf opended their first store in NYC they had a camera at the store that let you post pix on the internet and that Starbucks ripped them off. I don't know if that is true because I haven't ever seen the camera there.

I think I just broke a rule for too long of a post.

does it have a moat?
Not yet, but you can put one in if you want. It's already surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.

The place isn't really that bid, here's a picture of it next to Piggy, for scale.
