Recording That Keeps Rolling When You Leave the Page

Recording a camera used to be a hostage situation: navigate away from the camera view — to check a flight, a storm, another feed — and the capture was at risk. That made recording a feature for people willing to stare at one screen. The recording studio upgrades remove the leash. Recording sessions now persist across the app: start a capture, then go anywhere in WorldEye. The recording continues.

You'll always know what's recording, because the app now tells you from everywhere: a capture indicator sits on screen whenever one or more recordings are active, showing live capture state. One click takes you to your sessions to review or stop them. No more wondering whether the thing you started an hour ago is still running — and no more recordings silently running that you forgot about, either. It reports both ways.

It answers the question from the other end of the day, too. Sit back down after hours away and the indicator tells you at a glance what has been capturing in the meantime and how long each session has been running — before you open a single session to check.

Recording is multi-camera now. Pro records up to 20 cameras concurrently; VIP Pro raises the pool to 40 and adds the recording dashboard to manage them all in one place. For teams, the pool is shared across the organization — the team's captures draw on the owner's 20 or 40 — which is how a newsroom or an operations desk actually works: one wall of cameras, one pool.

Starting another camera doesn't restart the ones already running, and stopping one leaves the rest alone: each session is independent and shares only the pool limit. That independence is what makes the pool feel like a wall of recorders rather than a single fragile capture.

The pattern this unlocks is the monitoring pattern: pin the passes, ports and plazas you care about, start them recording in the morning, and spend your attention on the live globe instead of babysitting tabs. When something happens — a storm landing, a closure, a crowd forming — the capture is already rolling, and the timelapse tools on VIP Pro can compress the hours around it.

Reviewing is built for triage, not archaeology. Sessions are listed with their camera, start time and duration, so the morning's captures across twenty cameras read as one timeline instead of twenty files. Skim the sessions that cover the hour you care about, keep what matters, and let the rest go — the point of a recording pool is that it's ready again tomorrow.

A storm day shows why the persistence matters. Start the canyon and pass cameras before dawn, then spend the morning on the live map — radar, warnings, the storm's own feeds — while the road-level record assembles itself in the background. When the front crosses, the footage already exists. Nobody had to predict the exact minute worth recording, because all of the minutes were.

Recording runs in your browser session: WorldEye captures the public feeds you're entitled to watch while the app is open, across any navigation inside it. Closing the browser ends the session — the indicator's job is to make sure you always know a session is live before you do. The caps are real caps: 20 concurrent cameras on Pro, 40 on VIP Pro.
