Basketball ends above everyone's head, at one of two rims, and the side changes every few seconds. Where to put the camera, why the gym is dark, and what one fixed camera has to give up.

There are three recording modes, not two, and the real question is who decides that a stretch of footage becomes a file. Continuous preserves everything and charges you hours of scrubbing; a triggered clip arrives ready and depends entirely on the trigger having fired.

The clip you send is not the clip they see. What happens between pressing send and the reaction on the other side: delivery quality, auto-download, volume, timing and tagging in the team group.

One fixed camera is not a tactical analysis system. It does show your positioning, your decision with the ball and the mistake you repeat. Here is what to look for, in what order, and what the frame never records.

The audio on a court camera clip is going to be poor, and it mostly does not matter, because the clip starts muted wherever you send it. The job is making it work without sound.

Saving is not archiving. A free tier has limits on size and conditions on time: Google Photos can delete photos and videos after two years of inactivity, so permanence needs as much thought as gigabytes.

Every destination has a ceiling and almost nobody hits it. Status, Stories, Reels, Shorts and the group chat each judge length differently, and the group chat is the strictest of them.

Rotating the phone costs about 44 percent of the horizontal field of view, whatever lens you use. Why that matters on a wide pitch, what vertical does not do, and the one case where it genuinely wins.

A replay camera is already recording before the moment you want to keep. How retroactive capture works, and how it differs from a security camera, a phone on the sideline, broadcast replay and an action cam.
