What we do
A live camera program, managed end to end.
Pixelcaster creates live views of real places that audiences return to again and again. We handle the camera, the streaming, and the hosting, so your team can focus on the place and its audience.
Once your view is live, we keep it that way, with reliability, troubleshooting, and support for as long as the camera runs. Many of our customers' views have been live for more than a decade.
The Pixelcaster program
Everything your live camera needs to succeed.
Viewpoint Guidance
We help identify strong public-facing views, optimize framing and composition, and configure cameras for scenic quality.
Streaming and Hosting
Managed HD and 4K live streaming with embeddable players for your website. Pixelcaster handles bandwidth so your site hosting is not affected.
Reliability and Support
Hands-on troubleshooting for cameras in remote and unusual network environments, including cellular, satellite, and enterprise networks.
Snapshots and Time-Lapse
Poster images, periodic stills, and time-lapse video that capture seasonal change, weather events, and the rhythms of your place over time.
One Team, Start to Finish
You work with one team for the camera, the stream, and the player on your website. We handle the technical side, so your staff does not have to.
Who It Is For
Parks, conservancies, friends groups, destination marketing organizations, tourism agencies, universities, wildlife refuges, beaches, marinas, and scenic hospitality properties.
The player
A video player that carries your brand and your message.
Your Brand on the Video
Your logo and name sit on the video, and the player is shaped and styled to fit your page. Our name stays out of the picture.
Built to Promote What Matters
Put your own message on the video: a donation appeal, a plan your visit link, an event, a membership drive. You choose when and where it appears.
Ready for Video Search
The player can add the structured data Google uses to index live video, with no changes to your web page.
Secure, plug and play installation
Plug it in. Your camera is live.
Pixelcaster cameras ship as a plug and play camera kit, already configured. Each one reaches our servers through a private encrypted tunnel and is never exposed to the internet.
Plug it into any internet connection, whether broadband, cellular, or satellite, and the camera comes online by itself, with no installer setup and no network project.
Why it works
A live camera gives people a reason to come back.
Audiences return when a camera shows something that is changing, seasonal, rare, or beautiful. Traffic gathers around weather, wildlife, the turn of the seasons, and the simple pull of a view people already care about.
Unlike recorded video or still images, a live camera is what is happening now. It connects people to your place 24 hours a day, with no ongoing effort from your team, for years and often for decades.
