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.

Where the cameras come from

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.

Honest note

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.
