1,843,073 Hours of Footage in Our Iowa Video Archive

Iowa has hundreds of intersection cameras, red light cameras, and highway cameras that witness car crashes and other major accidents and incidents in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and other cities. We designed the Traffic Cam Archive platform from the ground up to capture, catalog, and archive millions of hours of footage from those traffic cameras.

We aim for 90 days of video retention per camera but often beat that by an additional 30 to 60 days. Our platform makes it easy to find, purchase, and download the video footage you need in Iowa at the lowest price. Our interactive map makes finding cameras quick and painless and our video screening tools help you shop with confidence. When you place your order, we ask for payment and an email address to send you purchase-related messages and nothing more. We dislike needless online accounts, passwords, and spam as much as you do.
