EarthCam has just released the longest running time-lapse project in the company’s history spanning 20 years. Company CEO and Founder, Brian Cury, installed a webcam just days after the attacks to broadcast the rescue mission to the families of the missing and eventually into the rebuilding process. EarthCam developed innovative new robotic DSLR camera technology necessary to document this in the highest resolution possible.

This DSLR technology enabled EarthCam to capture panoramic footage every few minutes for 20 years, documenting the transformation of downtown Manhattan from over 100 viewing angles with a total of 13.3 million individual photos. All 20-years of content that you see here, in addition to the original EarthCam camera, have been donated to the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
- Dual Screens: Osmo Action’s dual screens allow you to capture it all with the touch of a button. A vivid front screen lets you frame yourself...
- The RockSteady technology combines EIS with complex algorithms, delivering stable, shake-free footage no matter how heavy the action gets.
- Action camera with 1/2.3" CMOS Sensor, 12MP, wide-angle 145° that allows you to shoot 4K HDR videos.
We appreciate EarthCam’s unprecedented contribution of 20 years of historic images, which have meticulously recorded the rebuilding that transformed this sacred space. This creative time-lapse both honors the legacy of those who were killed and embodies hope for the future, as we see these remarkable new structures that surround the Memorial as evidence of lower Manhattan’s resilience and renewal,” said 9/11 Memorial President and CEO Alice M. Greenwald.
