The Iowa DOT operates and maintains traffic cameras on many interstates, U.S. and Iowa highways across the state. The cameras are monitored 24 hours, seven days a week at the Iowa DOT's Statewide Traffic Management Center.

Request a copy of video recordings from DOT traffic cameras on many interstates, U.S. and Iowa highways.

Note:

  • Video is recorded and retained at Iowa DOT for seven days. After seven days, we may have recordings available if they were previously requested.
  • Not all Iowa DOT cameras have the ability to record video.
  • The camera may not be pointed in the direction you are looking for.
  • It is not guaranteed that all cameras are operational, or that the video quality is acceptable for your needs.
     

A copy of a recording can be obtained by filling out the DOT Camera Video Request Form.

If you have questions about the form or the process, please email us at DOT-CameraVidReq@iowadot.us.
