LIVE CAMERA NETWORK
Watch 37 live cameras in Wellington — free on the WorldEye globe.
Camera index last updated October 23, 2026.
There are 37 live webcams in Wellington, New Zealand, on WorldEye — public feeds published by NZTA, all free to watch with no signup. Wellington accounts for about 14% of the 257 cameras WorldEye indexes in New Zealand, and every feed sits on the same searchable live map as WorldEye's 74,229 cameras worldwide.
Featured feeds in the index include SH1 Gear Rd Emergency Access (Southbound), Stokes Valley Roundabout SB (Southbound) and Stokes Valley Roundabout EB (Eastbound) — and every camera in the list below links straight into the live globe with that feed open, so you can go from this page to a live view in one tap.
Every camera in the Wellington index publishes still images that refresh at short intervals rather than continuous video. That is how the operators run them — and it is enough to judge congestion, weather and road conditions at a glance, which is what these feeds are for.
Use the grid the way it is meant to be used: a two-minute check of the cameras on your route before you leave. What is happening on the ground — a jam, a closure, a storm moving in — shows up on these feeds as it happens, not as a forecast said it would.
Is it snowing in Wellington right now?
WorldEye has no live weather feed wired for Wellington, so this page won't guess. The cameras are the ground truth — open a live feed and look at the roads, roofs and trees directly.
How bad is traffic in Wellington right now?
A camera index can't honestly score congestion — nothing here measures traffic speed. What it can do is show you: 37 live cameras are listed under Wellington in the index, and 27 of them watch SH 1 alone. Open the feed on your route and judge the lanes yourself.
Are Wellington's cameras live right now?
Yes — the index lists 37 feeds for Wellington: 37 refresh as still images on their agencies' cycles. A feed whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

Loading live cameras…Fetching the live index for Wellington.
Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.
Driving in? Enter where you are starting from and see the live cameras along the way — the feed is the road-condition check.
Enter a starting address and a destination — every live camera within 1.5 km of the road, in the order you pass them.
Place search © OpenStreetMap contributors; routing is the same directions service the live map uses. Cameras are the public feeds in the WorldEye index — a camera shows here only when it has a feed the preview can actually play.

Counts are the 37 cameras listed under Wellington in the live index — the same set the explorer on this page searches, grouped by the road designation in each camera's own name. Split by the centre of that grid: 15 cameras north-east, 4 north-west, 4 south-east and 14 south-west. Published by NZTA (37).
Each of the 37 cameras listed under Wellington in the live index is counted once, under the first kind its own name matches — the same records the roads table above groups.
The 37 cameras on this page with published coordinates centre on 41.03° S, 174.96° E and span 69 km at their widest — measured from the camera positions themselves, so the shape follows the real network rather than the city limits.
Listed feeds include SH1 Gear Rd Emergency Access (Southbound) and Stokes Valley Roundabout SB (Southbound), published by their operators for road and area checks.
Every sample on this page is a real feed from the served catalogue, not a stock image.
