The alert-first platform for TrailGuard.
Nightjar makes TrailGuard (the AI camera trap) and Nightjar IQ (the platform). Nightjar IQ turns every TrailGuard detection into a structured record you can alert on and export. Deployed by conservation programmes, protected-area teams, and mining ESG operations across four continents.
What Nightjar IQ does.
Real-time
Email and Telegram within 30 seconds of camera trigger. More channels rolling out.
Species + threats
17,000+ species classifier. Agent-in-the-loop enrichment adds threat context and priority. Custom rules by species, archetype, or threat class.
Audit-grade
Exports to CamtrapDP, GBIF, CSV. Fit for TNFD, CSRD, and IFC PS6 disclosure.
Integrated
EarthRanger live. Platform webhooks and WhatsApp coming soon on paid tiers.
One platform. Many missions.
Inside the dashboard.
What operators actually see when Nightjar IQ is running a fleet.
Review the alerts.
Every detection lands with species, confidence, the rule that fired, and agent-enriched context of the site.
Manage the fleet.
Every deployed camera at a glance. Battery, signal, last check-in, and last image, without a site visit.
See patterns over time.
Season-scale detection trends, activity by hour, species accumulations. Export-ready for reports and disclosure.
Detection volume up 18% vs prior 90 days, driven by African Elephant activity at TG-08 (Farm Edge North). Peaks stable around dawn (05:00–07:00) and dusk (17:00–19:00). Person alerts concentrated at TG-14 (Ranger Zone East), 2 in the last 7 nights. Recommend a health check on TG-11 (battery 18%) and reviewing the compliance rule for East Boundary Track.
How the AI runs, from camera to dashboard.
Edge filtering.
Onboard AI drops empty triggers (wind, shadows, low-confidence motion) before anything is transmitted. That saves battery and bandwidth.
Species, scene, and situation.
Every transmitted frame runs through SpeciesNet against a 17,000+ species model. Scene tags cover weather, vegetation, hydrology, and habitat. Agent-in-the-loop enrichment adds behaviour, count, direction, and threat context. Alerts arrive pre-labelled.
Rules, alerts, evidence.
Configurable rules by species, threat type, confidence, and time. Alerts land in seconds. Everything else is kept as a record you can query and export.
