Live Monitoring

Eyes on the land, around the clock

Stewardship does not stop when we leave the field. Solar-powered cameras and on-device AI keep watch — and let the public watch, too.

Technology for stewardship

Continuous proof that the land is thriving

Caring for conserved land in perpetuity means knowing what is happening on it — not once a year, but every day.

Broad Water deploys solar-powered field cameras with on-device artificial intelligence that identifies the species moving through each property. The result is a living record of biodiversity that makes stewardship more efficient, more transparent, and far more compelling to share.

How it works

What sits on the land

Solar-Powered

Off-grid and self-sustaining — no trenching, no maintenance visits.

Always On

Day and night, season to season, the camera never looks away.

AI Species ID

On-device models recognize the birds and wildlife passing through.

Live Public Feed

Anyone can tune in and see the land as it is, right now.

Why it matters

Better stewardship, proven continuously

Continuous monitoring turns stewardship from an annual checkup into an always-on record — the kind regulators, sponsors, and donors can trust.

  • Collect and evaluate climate and species metrics for smarter mitigation planning
  • Drive efficiency in day-to-day stewardship management
  • Document biodiversity outcomes with hard evidence
  • Turn conservation into a story the public can watch unfold
From field to feed

Four steps, fully automated

01

Deploy

A solar camera is installed on a protected property — no power or network trenching required.

02

Capture

It records continuously, through every season and time of day.

03

Detect

On-device AI identifies the species in view and logs each sighting.

04

Inform & share

Data sharpens stewardship decisions while the public watches the land live.
