These Access Kenya webcams capture real-time traffic feeds and relay them online. The AccessKenya Group is interested in giving the commuter and driver (road users basically) an avenue through which they can get to choose traffic routes that can save them of the usual Nairobi hustle that caused by traffic jams. It has cameras in key areas of Nairobi and Mombasa, with which you can view traffic cameras. Also, the internet road traffic portal has a handy Google maps feature (check out here) where you can pinpoint different locations. Kenyan radio stations have been doing a good job giving road-users traffic updates via KDN cameras, but AccessKenya Group as done an excellent job giving it to them at the touch of a button. This innovation comes at a time ripe for Kenya, promulgation and all. When Kenyan TV Programmes now get all their stuff uploaded on youtube. When Kalasha Awards are aired online in real-time. When Churchill Live content gets digital. When telephone network companies are now preferred Internet Service Providers. When Kenyan Film gets The First Grader.

These traffic feeds involve Internet Protocol (IP) cameras that continuously captures traffic movement and transmit the images through the Access Kenya portal, live and in real time. Access Kenya has customized the portal and the updates can be accessed via mobile phone.

• The Kenyan police have had cameras all over Nairobi for quite some now. This is quite troubling as the city criminals, most recently G4S Millionaires, who do not really seem to understand the concept of real-time surveillance keep getting paid.

• Kenya Data Networks also set-up several such cameras on Nairobi roads with media houses, more specifically their FM stations, checking traffic and informing Kenyans.
