FDOT Traffic Cameras

The FDOT Traffic Cameras feature plots Florida Department of Transportation CCTV traffic cameras on the map.

Enabling FDOT Cameras​

In the sidebar under Live Observation → Live Traffic, click FDOT Traffic Cameras to load and display the camera network. Click again to hide all cameras.

Camera Pins​

Each FDOT camera is displayed as a pin billboard on the map. Pins are color-coded or styled to distinguish them from other camera types (such as NY cameras).

Viewing a Camera Feed​

Click any camera pin to open an info box showing:

  • Camera name and ID
  • Location description
  • Link or embedded iframe for the live feed
note

Live video availability depends on the TrafficView API and the individual camera. Some cameras may be offline or unavailable.

Data Source​

Camera data is fetched from the TrafficView API:

GET /fdot-cameras
→ Server proxies: https://api.trafficview.org/device/?api-key={key}&system=fdot&type=device_cctv&format=rf-json

The TRAFFIC_VIEW_API_KEY environment variable must be set. Data is fetched on-demand when the button is first clicked and cached in the window.fdotDevices variable for subsequent toggles.

Coverage​

FDOT cameras cover major Florida highways and interstates. The network is most dense around the I-4, I-95, I-75, and Turnpike corridors.

Implementation Notes​

FDOT camera entities are stored in fdotCameraEntities[]. Visibility is toggled by setting entity.show = true/false on each entity. The boolean fdotCamerasVisible tracks the current state.
