Six years ago, the company launched its first 24-hour live camera streaming site, EarthCamTV. The team behind this unique platform has completely rebuilt the experience from the ground-up, and today launched EarthCamTV 2, a fully interactive app exclusively for Amazon Fire TV.

EarthCamTV 2 invites viewers to enjoy a virtual trip via EarthCam’s global network of live cameras. Now with the latest update, users can take it to another level, becoming programming directors, and creating a watchlist of their favorite live webcams to stream for any time, in any order.

Additionally, they can select a soundtrack from a range of music styles to mix in with the live-camera audio to accompany their watchlist.

For viewers who just want to sit back and enjoy great content, EarthCamTV 2 comes with two free curated watchlists, Trending Cams and Featured Cams, which are based on artificial Intelligence (AI) ensuring that optimal views are available each time. For those that want produce their own content – it is free to participate as a creator by sharing their own personal webcam stream with the MyEarthCam community.

“Life is like a webcam. Everyone looks at the world differently and when that view is fascinating, insightful or simply brings the joy of art into perspective, it makes for a better day,” said Brian Cury, CEO and founder of EarthCam, “We designed EarthCamTV to provide that personal connection to the beautiful and small world around us.”
