Open camera sourceHow to use these cameras
Camera images are visual context only. They can be delayed, offline, overexposed, blocked by weather, or pointed away from the exact place you care about. For road decisions, use the official SH94 status and the road phone line. For tracks, use DOC alerts and a current mountain forecast.
- Milford Road: pair Gertrude Valley, Gorge Hill, the official SH94 status page, and the 0800 road phone line.
- Kepler/Luxmore: use the Kepler Track camera plus DOC alerts and Fiordland mountain weather.
- Queenstown to Te Anau: Frankton cameras are most useful for traffic timing, while Southland road-weather galleries are better for cold-road context.
- Longer approaches: Lindis, Twizel, Pukaki, Haast, and Dunedin cameras are route context, not Te Anau conditions.
