I hope the following will make the software a little clearer and easier to understand. ATC (Australian Traffic Cameras) does not prevent you from getting speeding fines, it does not keep you out of traffic jams or heavy traffic.
It does however create added convenience, easier use of the camera networks around the country and adds plenty of entertainment.
The ultimate goal is to make a program which is a unified source of all webcam images available in Australian states. So instead of using the individual government services websites, you can see all images in one place - with added features, such as integrated google maps, explanation of location, quick preview (multiview screen).
The program is sitting currently at beta 2 with over 70 cameras already loaded into it. The integration process of traffic cameras is very slow as a lot of coding is involved.
Please read through this page first before downloading or installing and understand that this software is still in BETA stages. Although the program does not alter any registry or system files, there may be risks involved (as with any other beta software). Please use this program on your own risk.
