6,461,913 Hours of Footage in Our Virginia Video Archive


Virginia has hundreds of intersection cameras, red light cameras, and highway cameras that witness car crashes and other major accidents and incidents in Fairfax, Arlington, Richmond, Virginia Beach and many other cities. The video footage is not recorded by the State of Virginia. We designed the Traffic Cam Archive platform from the ground up to capture, catalog, and archive the millions of hours of traffic camera footage that were being lost.

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 Virginia 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.
