TrailGuard is a real-time, edge-AI camera that pairs with the Nightjar IQ platform to deliver alerts within seconds — wildlife, people, vehicles, intrusion — and build a continuous record of the landscapes it watches. Used by conservation organisations, state wildlife agencies, peacekeeping forces, and industrial operators across multiple continents. Built first to catch poachers; now the sensor behind a broader platform for landscape-level monitoring.
