1 cams
Iraq's public camera coverage is urban and uneven. The largest cluster sits in Baghdad, where traffic cameras watch intersections on the main arteries and a handful of fixed views look over public squares. These feeds are used locally to check congestion before a commute, though they rarely stay online without interruption. Basra adds a few cameras near the waterfront and the southern oil terminals, while Erbil and the Kurdistan region contribute a smaller set of city views. Outside the big cities, coverage thins fast. There is no national road-camera network comparable to a state DOT in the United States or a European motorway authority, so highway conditions are not something you can reliably watch here. Some river and dam sites carry cameras, but they are maintained by individual project operators and appear and disappear. For anyone trying to watch Iraq cams online, the realistic picture is a few dozen feeds at any given time, mostly pointing at streets, roundabouts and checkpoints. Winter rain and summer dust both degrade the images, and power cuts take cameras down for hours. The grid on this page reflects what is live now; check back, because new streams are added as municipal and private operators bring them online.
