What is Vigilare?

Vigilare:

• is a global camera and site management service for individuals and conservation groups who use trail cameras,
• is free to use for those with a single camera on a single site,
• provides site-based mapping of camera locations - viewable with any web browser,
• provides camera status to see which cameras have been triggered and which require new batteries,
• is suitable for use with a single camera in a garden,
• is suitable for use by conservation organisations with muliple sites and multiple cameras,
• is manufacturer independent - it works with any camera that is "Vigilare Ready",
• enables basic and advanced cameras from different manufacturers to be used on the same site,
• shows the current status of all deployed cameras on any number of sites,
• provides access to all media (photos, videos, sound recordings) relating to a site,
• protects privacy - you decide who can see what,
• protects privacy - Vigilare never retains images - it passes them on to you via email,
• provides additional security - sends notifications if a camera has been moved (if supported by the camera),
• is set up with a free web-based app that allows you to define the boundaries of the site you are monitoring,

Mapping example

The map shows the cameras deployed at a conservation site.

The status of each camera is clearly visible and clicking on an individual camera brings up more details.

You may be based in the UK but your organisation is running conservation sites in Kenya - you can still see the status of all your cameras in the Masai Mara National Park!
