### What does WorldEye do?
WorldEye is a free live 3D intelligence globe. It aggregates 36,000+ public cameras in 105 countries plus live flights, satellites, weather, earthquakes and wildfires into a single interactive map that opens in any browser — no signup, no install.
A Pro tier adds an OSINT toolkit, satellite view, global search and premium intel feeds for deeper investigations.
**The lowdown:** It’s ideal for combining geographically relevant information in one interface.
### How to Use:
**1. Open WorldEye in any browser and navigate the 3D globe to reach a location and select cameras, flights, satellites, weather, earthquakes or wildfire layers.**
**2. Review results including USGS details.**
**3. Pro users unlock the OSINT toolkit, satellite view, global search and premium intel feeds.**

### Use in Reporting
WorldEye can be useful for:
* Establishing geographical context for breaking news, public incidents and developing events.
* Locating publicly accessible camera feeds that may help researchers examine conditions at a place.
* Reviewing aircraft positions and available flight telemetry as leads for aviation-related reporting.
* Exploring satellite positions and orbital passes when planning further research.
* Monitoring earthquakes, wildfires and weather conditions alongside reported incidents.
* Identifying relevant maritime-tracking or cyber-threat sources through the Pro intelligence layers.
* Investigating domains and network infrastructure using the Pro DNS/WHOIS, SSL and Nmap tools, where appropriate and authorised.
* Comparing an event's reported location with available map layers and other independently sourced information.
* Finding additional primary sources, official records or local reporting for follow-up investigation.
| **Capabilities** | **Limitations** |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 36,000+ public cameras in 105 countries on a free 3D globe. | Coverage limited to public cameras and publicly available data feeds. |
| Live flights, satellites, weather, earthquakes and wildfires on one map. | Requires internet access; camera availability depends on public sources. |
| Works in any browser with no signup and no install. | Availability and accuracy depend on the underlying third-party feeds. |
| Pro version includes OSINT toolkit, satellite view, global search, premium intel feeds. | Pro features (OSINT toolkit, satellite view, global search) are paid. |
### Summary
WorldEye is most useful for geolocation, live monitoring and situational awareness stages of the OSINT workflow, with its main value in helping identify relevant locations, data sources and investigative leads.
Important findings should be checked against original sources, and timestamps, identifiers and limitations should be recorded before using them in a report.
### Ownership
WorldEye describes itself as a small, independent team. The public About page does not clearly identify a separate corporate owner.

### Ethical Considerations
* Only public cameras are included; do not use the tool to monitor or identify private individuals.
* Distinguish the time an event occurred from the time it was detected, reported or displayed.
* Consider privacy and potential harm before sharing footage or locations.
* Verify findings against additional sources before reporting.
