The feature is available in eleven countries with more than 35,000 cameras. However, the tool only works in some places and the Preview version for now. Therefore, there may be adjustments to make and find cameras can be a treasure hunt.

Microsoft has not reported on the official blog at the time of release, which are the exact areas where the cameras are. Since Brazil is one of the places with access only to the preview (prior) Bing Maps, chances are you can find some images in major cities.

The TechTudo tried to use the feature on the map the city of Rio de Janeiro, but did not get much success. Users of other places in the country also reported that they found the cameras, even at points quite busy as the Paulista Avenue in São Paulo.

To search for the cameras, simply access the bing.com/mapspreview preview, click the menu “Traffic” and activate the ‘Cameras’ option.

So just give maximum zoom the address you want and wait for the loading of images, if they are available. Remember that you can only access the function by the test link.
