City Cameras

Put Your City Live Online, Day and Night

Your skyline, your river, your landmark square — a live city camera keeps the face of your city visible to the world every hour of every day. Real View sends you a plug-and-play camera and puts that view on your visitor website, on YouTube, into ready-made social clips, and on the Real View TV app.

Get Your City Seen

A City That Never Goes Dark

A stock photo of your skyline captured one clear afternoon proves nothing about today. A live view of your city, right now — the towers, the river traffic, the crowds, the lights coming on across the whole skyline at dusk — is the thing that makes someone decide to come. It answers the only question a would-be visitor really has: what is it actually like there, right now?

And it works around the clock, in front of a global audience. A city doesn’t switch off at sunset — a lit skyline after dark is often the better picture. Once the camera is plugged in it streams live day and night, quietly captures the best of each day, and turns it into short clips and timelapses ready to post — so your channels stay full of real content without a photographer or an editing suite.

Your city’s living skyline, online every hour of every day and every night — seen around the world before anyone has decided where to go.

We send a camera

A weatherproof camera arrives set up and ready — nothing to assemble, no software, no technician.

Your city goes to work

Embed the live view, send it to YouTube, download daily clips and timelapses — all from your online control panel, with nothing to install.

City Camera Questions

What is a city camera?
A live camera pointed at your skyline, a signature landmark or a central square — that streams the real city view online 24/7. With Real View, your tourist board, DMO or city council gets a plug-and-play camera that puts that live view on your visitor website, on YouTube, into ready-to-post social clips, and on the Real View TV app.
Why would a city tourist board want a live camera?
Because a living city sells itself. A live skyline or a busy central square — the towers, the river, the crowds, the lights coming on — makes people want to visit in a way a stock photo never can. It works day and night, runs on your website, keeps your social feeds full of real content, and puts your city in front of a global audience through the Real View TV app.
Does a city camera work at night?
Yes. It’s a live view, so it shows whatever is really there — and a lit city skyline after dark is often the better picture, with towers, bridges and landmarks glowing against the night. Where a view has nothing to show once it’s dark, the camera can be set to follow daylight instead.
Where can the city camera be seen?
In four places at once, all from one camera: embedded ad-free on your own visitor website, streamed live on YouTube 24/7, cut into daily highlight clips and timelapses for social media, and playing on the Real View TV app on televisions at home and on calm screens in places like care homes and waiting rooms.
How much does a city camera cost?
Plans start at £99 per camera per month and the camera is included — Real View ships it, owns it and manages it remotely, so there’s nothing to buy. Higher plans add YouTube streaming, the Real View TV app, daily clips, timelapses and AI-drafted social posts. You can add as many cameras as you like, each at the same monthly price.
Can we cover the whole city with several cameras?
Yes. The skyline, the old town, the waterfront and the main square can each have their own camera, all under one account and managed from a single online control panel. It’s a straightforward way to show every side of the city at once, and each camera is simply the same monthly price.
