The camera can only see approximately what the human eye can see. Once conditions degrade or it gets dark the camera cannot register an image. We are exploring an Infrared version of this unit to look through the dark and fog. The current units will not function in the inferred spectrum. We do not have this capability enabled.
Work is underway to provide current weather information along with the video image.
Please see the pass reports page for road and weather conditions information. The camera is mounted on our sign bridge over the east bound lanes at milepost 52.26. In English that would be at the west summit looking west just before one begins the long downhill off of the mountain. We are exploring this option. Our hope is to have an answer early January.
