Footage often uploads after the mission when the pilot device or Overwatch browser regains internet. Queued uploads are normal, not errors.
Automatic upload
After Stop Mission, the pilot app attempts to upload recorded footage when online. If the pilot hands video to Mission Overwatch over the LAN relay, the browser needs internet to upload immediately — otherwise it queues locally.
Watch for upload banners, Upload now, or Loading playback link status in Mission Overwatch.
Manual MP4 upload
When auto upload is impractical:
- Copy the mission MP4 from the aircraft SD card or computer.
- Open the closed mission in Mission Overwatch.
- Go to Mission Footage → Upload MP4.
- Select the correct file.
Tap Skip during auto upload if you plan to upload manually later.
If the mission did not start in AlphaRelay, use Mission Dashboard → Mission History → Import mission. The import flow creates a closed mission record, uploads selected MP4 footage and photos, then opens Mission Overwatch on the Media tab.
Use the normal Upload MP4 and Upload Photos controls afterward if any media needs to be added or retried.
Mission photos
Use Mission photos / Upload Photos to add timeline photos or evidence-only photos with caption, category, and notes.
Keep the app or browser open until upload or queue processing finishes.
