A Senate cam droid
Cam droids, also called hovercams and holocam droids, were repulsorlift droids used as self-motivated recording devices. The proceedings of the Galactic Republic's Senate were constantly recorded by such droids.[1] The Hologlide J57 was a model of cam droid used on the planet Tatooine to record the Boonta Eve Classic podracing event.[2] Cam droids equipped with holocams were known as holocam droids, and were used in the New Republic Senate.[3] Cam droids were used during grav-ball matches on Lothal.[4]
During or after 34 ABY,[5] CAM was a cam droid who was a member of the Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts alongside the Safari droid SF-R3. They traveled the galaxy in a starship and learned about several species of wildlife. CAM broadcast footage of SF-R3's interactions with creatures[6] across the HoloNet and sent their findings back to the Society.[7] Another cam droid affiliated with the Society was CAM-E who was stationed on the Youngling Care Space Station alongside the Safari droid M1-RE, also known as Miree.[8] CAM-E recorded Miree as she cared for and studied several species of younglings, and CAM-E broadcasted footage[9] across the Holonet.[7]

Star Wars Galaxy of Creatures — "Porgs" features porgs on Batuu, a species that Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge establishes were not present on the planet Batuu until the Resistance brought them there between the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Therefore, porgs must have been introduced to Batuu between those stories, which corresponds to 34 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines, meaning that the events of Star Wars Galaxy of Creatures take place during or after 34 ABY.
