Auto-refreshing every few seconds: this is happening right now.
PEEK is a live window into the real world. Instead of a map with photos from years ago, every dot is a real public camera streaming right now: the actual cars and people, this second.
These are public government traffic cameras: state departments of transportation across 9 states (about 8,000 cameras), published for the public. More states are coming.
PEEK only shows public cameras that authorities already publish, never private, home, business, or security cameras. California cameras play real live video, relayed through an always-on server that holds the camera's connection so the footage doesn't expire in transit. Other states show fast-refreshing live snapshots (their video stays locked). Coverage depends on where public cameras exist, so it's not every street, and feeds can occasionally go offline.
