NYC Live Cam: New York City Webcams Live Now

Key context

About the New York City cams

New York has some of the most watched webcams in the world: the Manhattan skyline from New Jersey, Times Square, the bridges and the harbour. Live cams are a quick way to check the weather, traffic, crowds on New Year's Eve or the view from a hotel before you book.

Each cam here is public and run by its owner (hotels, businesses, transport agencies or private hobbyists); Windy.com collects them. We show a recent still image and link to the live view and the 24-hour timelapse on Windy.

What to watch for

• The skyline cams show weather fronts and storms reaching Manhattan from the west.
• Harbour and bridge cams show ship traffic and big events such as the Fourth of July fireworks.
• For traffic cameras on highways, the official source is 511NY.

Our rules for live cams

We only list public webcams from the Windy.com network, link every image to its live view on Windy, and never stretch the images. We do not list cams in active war zones or in countries that ban broadcasting strike sites and air defences (Ukraine and Israel), and we leave out cams near military bases.
