Frequently Asked Questions

Real View is a TV app that transforms your television into a living window to the world. We stream real, live camera feeds from stunning locations worldwide—from mountain peaks and ocean shores to city skylines and wildlife reserves. It's reality, unhurried and unscripted. Leave it on as your backdrop to life and experience those magical moments when a whale breaches, a polar bear wanders past, or the sun sets over the Mediterranean.

Yes! Real View offers a free tier so everyone can enjoy our live streams. For access to our full library of premium, custom-licensed original feeds, we offer a subscription option. Commercial users (cafes, offices, hotels, etc.) require a commercial license.

Real View is designed primarily as a TV app, optimized for large screens where you can truly appreciate the stunning views. We're launching on major smart TV platforms and streaming devices. Stay tuned for specific platform announcements as we approach launch.

Our curated collection includes breathtaking locations from around the globe: tranquil beaches, majestic mountain ranges, vibrant city skylines, serene countryside, wildlife habitats, and more. Whether you want the energy of Tokyo at night or the peace of the Swiss Alps at dawn, there's a view for every mood. Every stream is live and in high definition.

Real View is available now as a free app on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and LG webOS. Simply search for "Real View" in your TV's app store. The Samsung TV version is currently in review, with Apple TV coming soon.

If you have access to an incredible view—whether it's a rooftop overlooking a city, a beachfront property, or a wildlife reserve—we'd love to hear from you. Visit our Creators page and fill out the contact form. We'll get in touch to discuss the possibilities and guide you through the setup process.

Very little. If you already stream a camera we can often use that feed. If not, we supply one or more Real View plug-and-play cameras — they arrive ready to go live, so you just provide power and an internet connection. We'll advise you on the ideal setup for your location.

Cameras typically upload at 2-3 Mbps for quality streaming. You'll need a stable, wired internet connection to the camera with at least this bandwidth available consistently. The key is reliability—the connection must be stable 24/7.

If you're already streaming and can give us an HLS link, listing your view on the TV app is free—the feed stays on your own server, so it costs us nothing to carry. If you'd like us to supply the camera, plans start at £99 a month and the camera is included: we ship it, we own it, we manage it remotely — there is nothing to buy. From then on the same feed reaches the TV app, YouTube, an ad-free live window on your own website, plus daily highlight clips, timelapses and ready-to-post social content. You can also lock a camera behind your own access code and charge your supporters directly—you set the price and keep every penny; we never take a cut.

Absolutely! Real View is perfect for hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities, offices, wellness studios, and more. Transform waiting rooms, lobbies, patient rooms, or any space with calming live views that enhance the environment and reduce stress. Contact us for business licensing options.
