Hi! I understand you're having trouble with the cameras not being available on the VDOT 511 Virginia Traffic app. I'd be glad to help you get that sorted out.

To start, can you tell me:
- Are you seeing any error messages when you try to view the cameras?
- Have you checked if the app is fully updated to the latest version from the Google Play Store?
- Are you connected to a strong and stable internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data)?

While I wait for those details, here are some common steps to troubleshoot camera availability issues on Android devices like yours (WebKit browser, Android 10):

1. Update the App:
- Open Google Play Store.
- Search for “VDOT 511 Virginia Traffic”.
- If it shows “Update,” please install the update. This can fix bugs causing cameras not to load.

2. Restart the App and Your Device:
- Close the app completely by swiping it away from recent apps.
- Restart your phone to clear any temporary glitches.

3. Check Network Connection:
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if the cameras load with a different connection.
- Sometimes, network restrictions or VPNs can block content.

4. Clear App Cache and Data:
- Go to your phone Settings > Apps > VDOT 511 Virginia Traffic.
- Tap Storage, then “Clear Cache.” If that doesn’t help, try “Clear Data” (Note this might reset your preferences).

5. Try Accessing Cameras on the Website:
- Visit https://511.vdot.virginia.gov/ on your browser to verify if cameras are working there. This will help check if it’s an app-specific problem.

6. Check for Reported Outages:
- Sometimes cameras are temporarily offline due to technical issues or maintenance. You can look for updates on official channels or VDOT's travel information page for any advisories.

Let me know if you have tried any of these already, and if the problem persists after these steps. That way, I can guide you further or check if there is a service issue being reported.

Are you able to access any other live traffic info or is it just the cameras that are missing?
