Come relax and watch videos in real time from all over the world. You can browse them through the main page or by browsing the map. On each camera you can choose filters to get a better image or simply a more artistic view. Once you've found a camera you like, you can bookmark it and take advantage of the iCloud sync to find it on all your devices. The database is updated independently from the application updates so don't hesitate to come back often to see the latest news. The application is 100% free funded by a little advertising but you can make a one-time lifetime purchase to remove them permanently, the choice is yours! There is a share function via Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp to disable ads temporarily too. The location on the map is either searched manually so very accurate, or found by IP address location so a little more approximate.
