NASA has set up a webcam that focuses on the sky to view shooting stars. An interesting aspect of this sky camera is that you are also given an audio feed to the sky radar, where you can hear the pings and pops created by incoming meteors.
You can view the camera, along with audio here.
The camera is mounted at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL.
Another camera can be view at SpaceWeather.com, which is located in Walker, GA. It can be accessed here. Once the page comes up, click on the main image to see the live meteor feed.
So, if you cannot make out to look at the sky for the big meteor shower, then simply tune in to one of these all sky cameras to look for fireballs.
