TrafficCamNZ Lite gives you the power to load any Internet web camera that you want to look at. A default list of more than 50 cameras is provided, you can then find and add your own.

TrafficCamNZ L:ite is limited to displaying 4 images (6 on iPad) - this can be any 4 (6 on iPad) images of your choosing. Apple iAd advertising is included. To display more than four images and without advertising you need TrafficCamNZ (the paid for version) this can be downloaded from the AppStore.

TrafficCamNZ displays internet accessable pictures of Traffic Cameras. You could use it for any image, even weather maps.

Images you choose as "Featured" are downloaded and setup side by side so that you can swipe across the screen to view multiple images quickly.
TrafficCamNZ works over the cellular network though it works best with WiFi because, usually, its faster!

The application comes pre-configured with a small selection of Traffic Cameras from around the world. You can turn those off and turn on the other cameras or add your own specific cameras.

Application notes:
* Pictures are displayed in the order they are received so the image arrangement may be different every time you run the application or refresh
* You will be downloading pictures over your a WiFi or 3G connection - they may be large - you should monitor your network traffic usage
* Images are not cached, if you recieve an image that isnt right (i.e. daylight when you know it is night time, it may be that the camera is not functioning)
* Sometimes the traffic camera pictures are not up-to-date on the internet. You may see night puictures when it is supposed to be daylight or perhaps pictures dont change. TrafficCamNZ has no control over that.

Features:
* Flick through the loaded images with your finger
* Full screen image display for one image with pinch/zoom
* Load your own web images by specifying a World Wide Web URL, and test before saving
* Free version available, loads up to 4 images or 6 on iPad
* Full version available, loads up to 19 images or 44 on iPad
* Choose your own list of images to display up to the application limit
* Comes loaded with a selection of Traffic Cameras from around the world. Edit the preferences to turn on the display or turn off the display of the pre-loaded cameras. Remember you cannot display more than four at any one time (or six on iPad) with the free version.
* Scroll through all of the new images (more than three) in the indexed table view.
* Tap the image in the main window to display it full screen, tap again for it to go away

Pros and cons of TrafficCamNZ Lite app for iPhone and iPad

TrafficCamNZ Lite app good for

Im not sure why there are so many negative reviews... Im happy with it. I actually think its a pretty cool app :)
I just deleted all of the links not in my area and added some in my area. The free version limits the featured to just 3 of the ones I added. The paid version seems to feature 19 and also has a means to browse. After I spend my .99 I might give the paid version 5 stars. Not sure what all of the single star reviews are all about. I love that i can customize this to exactly what I want. I used the Safari browser to get the URL of the cameras by opening the cam image on a new page.
I updated it and now it wont come up soooooooooooooooooooo frustrating

Some bad moments

There was a reason why there was know review dont get it just a still pic even when you refresh it its the same pic plus they want you to buy it
According to the cameras that are never refreshed, my highways have zero traffic 24/7. Its like "The Walking Dead"
Dumbest app ever, just a waist of space. All it shows is a bunch a stupid cars, who cares?
Tried adding URLs to cameras that matter... Most localities even provide the URLs for cameras. Doesnt work through this APP. but does directly through Safari browser..just bookmark the cameras you care about and save space for better APPs.
Terrible app! Compleat waste of time. I would try to refresh the camera and it showed me the same pic over and over again!! Dont download!!!
All it did for me was show pictures no videos at all so dont waste your time
