Live traffic cameras
Live traffic cameras from every road, on one map
Watch public highway and city traffic cameras in one place, with live video where available, plus incidents, closures and weather.
Power back to the people
The road watches you. Now you can see the road.
Public roads are lined with taxpayer-funded cameras, plate readers and checkpoints, while big map apps log your trips and filter what you see. Cylect puts that public infrastructure on your screen, lets drivers warn each other directly, and never records your trips.

- Taxpayers paid for the cameras30,000+ public DOT and city cameras in one map, live video where available.
- Drivers, not gatekeepersCommunity police, crash, hazard and closure reports, rewarded with XP.

Questions
Where can I watch live traffic cameras?
Cylect puts 30,000+ public DOT and city traffic cameras on one free map. Search a city or highway, tap a camera and watch the live video or latest snapshot.
Are these traffic cameras live?
Many are live video streams. Others are snapshots that refresh every few seconds to minutes, depending on the agency. Cylect plays live video first when a camera offers it.
Which states and countries are covered?
Coverage includes many US state DOT networks such as New York, Florida, California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, plus feeds in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. Coverage depends on what each agency publishes.

Yes. Signed-in users can pin cameras to a camera wall and keep it after a refresh.
Can I see accidents and road closures too?
Yes. Official 511 incidents, work zones, community crash and hazard reports and weather sit on the same map as the cameras.
Is it free?
Yes. The live map and traffic cameras are free in any browser, with no app to install.
