How Realtime is the Azure Satellite Imagery Service
I am trying to implement a Monitoring solution that needs to leverage Satellite Imagery in to reduce the need for human presence. How updated (Real-time) are the Satellite images

sadranyi Microsoft Maps imagery tiles are not anywhere near real time. To get great imagery it needs to be collected during the summer on clear days with cloudless skies. Once collected that imagery needs to be processed into tiles for different zoom levels and then blended into the tile set that covers the whole world. If you need time & dated imagery, I recommend reaching out to our imagery partner Vexcel, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics or other provider and sourcing that imagery you need directly.
