Coastal Cameras

Put Your Coast Live Online — Tide, Surf and All

Your beach, your harbour, your seafront — a live coastal camera turns the sea itself into the most persuasive advert a seaside tourist board owns. People genuinely check the coast before they set off, and Real View sends you a plug-and-play camera that puts that live view on your visitor website, on YouTube, into ready-made social clips, and on the Real View TV app.

Get Your Coast Seen

A Live Coast Is Irresistible

A photo of an empty beach proves nothing. A live view of your coast right now — the tide coming in, the surf rolling, the weather clearing over the sea — is the thing people actually check before they load the car. It answers the only question a would-be visitor really has: what is the sea doing there, today?

And it keeps working while your team does other things. Once the camera is plugged in it streams live, quietly captures the day, and turns the best moments — sunrise over the water, the golden hour on the sand — into short clips and timelapses ready to post, so your channels stay full of real content without a photographer or an editing suite.

Your coast’s living face, online every hour of every day — checked by surfers, families and visitors before they’ve decided where to go.

What a Coastal Camera Does for You

🖥

Live on Your Website

An ad-free, branded embed of your seafront’s live view, dropped straight onto your visitor site — a moving shot of the real tide and weather that sells a visit far better than a stock photo.

▶

Streamed to YouTube

A permanent 24/7 live stream of your coast on your own channel or the Real View channel, keeping your beach discoverable to anyone searching for it.

📱

Daily Social Content

Sunrise and sunset over the sea make superb clips — the best moment of each day produced automatically and ready to post to Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

📺

On the Real View TV App

Your coast, named on screen, playing on televisions at home around the clock — and on calm screens in care homes, waiting rooms and receptions.

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

Coastal Camera Questions

What is a coastal camera?
A live camera on your beach, harbour or seafront — streaming the real view, the tide, the surf and the weather — online around the clock. With Real View, your seaside tourist board or harbour 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 seaside tourist board want a live coastal camera?
Because a live coast is irresistible. People genuinely check the sea before they set off, and a live view of your beach on a bright day — the tide coming in, the surf rolling, families on the sand — makes them want to come. It runs on your website, keeps your social feeds full of real content, and puts your seafront on televisions through the Real View TV app.
Do people really watch coastal cameras?
Yes — more than almost any other kind. Surfers check the swell, families check the weather before they load the car, and visitors watch the tide come in and the sun go down over the sea. That’s repeat, sticky attention pointed straight at your destination, day after day.
Where can the coastal 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.
Is the camera OK outdoors by the sea?
Yes. It’s a rugged, weatherproof camera and it arrives set up. Mount it where it sees the sea and connect a single PoE network cable that carries both power and internet — it finds itself and starts streaming on its own. If the mounting is high or awkward, managed installation is available from £299.
How much does a coastal 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.
