Walking the jobsite isn't always possible — but with Live Views, you don't have to. By connecting a compatible jobsite camera or 360° imaging platform to Raken, your office team can see what's happening on the ground in real time, right from the Raken dashboard.
Quick Answer
To access Live Views:
Click Dashboard in the left navigation of the Raken web app.
Click Live views.
Click Enable on any integration — TrueLook, EarthCam, HoloBuilder, or DroneDeploy — and follow the setup steps.
Each integration requires a separate account with the third-party platform.

Live Views is accessible to anyone with Raken web app access.
Who sets up the integrations?
Live Views integrations are set up by Account Admins from the Dashboard. Once configured, the connected feeds are visible to your full team.

Considerations
No plan restrictions apply to accessing Live Views in Raken. However, each integration requires a paid account with the respective third-party platform.
Raken does not provide or manage the camera or imaging hardware.
If your connected integration shows no feed, verify that your source links or credentials are correctly entered in the integration settings.
