Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers which have weather sensors included on the tower. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed. There are now 47 highway cameras on the department's website. Images from all of Nova Scotia's highway cameras are available online at the
Highway Cameras Page. The page receives up to 250,000 visits per month in winter.
The webcam pic below is more or less real time and will update every 30 to 40 minutes, depending on conditions.
Along Long Point Road at the little community of Viewmount, this camera is on the west side of the intersection with Brow of Mountain Road. It looks generally west along Long Point Road toward a sharp curve to the right. Here, the nearest town of any size is Berwick, about 10 kilometres by road to the southeast.
