Frequently Asked Questions

How can I view the live streams on my TV?
The streams support Google Chromecast and Apple Airplay, both of which can be used to cast a stream to your TV. The cast button can be found in the video player.

The cameras look hazy, like the window needs to be cleaned. Can this be improved?
The windows are cleaned on a regular basis but certain weather conditions can cause the windows to become hazy/misty/sandy more quickly.

Can you add the ability to remotely control the camera?
We purposely use stationary cameras so everyone can enjoy the same high quality views.

It would be great to see HD or 4K streams from these cameras. Can you add that?
All of the cameras on hbcams.com stream in HD and some have been transitioned to 4K cameras. To enjoy the full high definition view, mouse over the live stream and click the full screen button in the upper right.

Can you add audio?
The cameras are in public locations and there are local and federal privacy laws regarding the broadcasting of audio. For those reasons, the cameras do not broadcast audio.

Are you accepting advertising sponsors on hbcams.com?

Can I embed the live stream on my web site?
The live camera streams are available as licensed embeddable streams. Please contact us for pricing information.
