Town Cameras

Put Your Town Live Online for the World to See

Your market square, your high street, your riverside — a live town camera turns the everyday heart of your town into the most persuasive advert a tourist board owns. 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 Town Seen

A Living Town Is Your Best Advertising

A photo of an empty square proves nothing. A live view of your town going about its day — the market in full swing, the lights coming on at dusk, a festival filling the streets — 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 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 into short clips and timelapses ready to post — so your channels stay full of real content without a photographer or an editing suite.

Your town’s living face, online every hour of every day — seen by visitors before they’ve decided where to go.

What a Town Camera Does for You

🖥

Live on Your Website

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

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

Daily Social Content

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

On the Real View TV App

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

How It Works

Three steps, and only one of them is yours.

1

We send a camera

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

2

You plug it in

Mount it where it sees the town and connect one network cable carrying power and internet. It finds itself and starts streaming in minutes.

Your town 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.

Town Camera Questions

What is a town camera?
A live camera pointed at a public part of your town — the market square, the high street, the riverside or the clock tower — that streams the real view online around the clock. With Real View, your tourist board or town 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 tourist board want a live town camera?
Because a living town sells itself. A still photo of an empty square proves nothing; a live view of your town going about its day — the market in full swing, the lights coming on, a festival crowd — makes people want to visit. It runs on your website, keeps your social feeds full of real content, and puts your town on televisions through the Real View TV app.
Where can the town 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.
Does the town camera film people?
It’s designed to be pointed at the view — the square, the street, the rooftops — rather than at individuals, and it has no microphone, so no audio is ever captured. Where a camera overlooks a public area, treat it like any other public-realm camera and signpost it as you normally would.
How much does a town 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.
Is it hard to install a town camera?
No. The camera arrives set up. Mount it where it sees the view and connect a single 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.
