ISR for your ranch.

Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance from the cameras you already run: every camera watched, every photo checked, a brief each morning.

Request access How it works

From the ISR playbook.

The military doesn't plan a mission on a hunch. Surveillance watches the ground, reconnaissance checks what's there, intelligence says what it means, and the mission is planned on that. WISR runs the same cycle on your ranch, and it ends where you want it to: a plan for your next hunt, built around the animal you're after and the conditions he moves in.

  1. 01 Surveillance

    Every camera watched, day and night.

    Two cameras in the WISR app: Cedar Draw offline, Back Pasture with no recent photos.
  2. 02 Reconnaissance

    Every photo checked, sorted and grouped into one feed.

    The top of the WISR sightings feed: axis, red deer, whitetail and blackbuck counted, 37 sightings of 6 animals.
  3. 03 Intelligence

    A brief each morning: what changed and what needs you.

    The WISR morning brief: good morning, then the last 24 hours in sightings, animals, alerts and tasks.
  4. 04 Mission

    The buck you are after, and when he moves.

01 Surveillance

Thousands of photos. Many of them empty.

Every camera on the ranch fires day and night: on wind, on grass, on a passing shadow.

WISR sets the empty ones aside.

Frames with nothing in them are set aside as they arrive, so you don't have to wade through them.

What's left is what walked past.

Animals named by species when the model is sure, and grouped into sightings by camera and time.

02 Reconnaissance

Every ranch. Every camera. One feed.

Photos from every place you run land in one feed, grouped into sightings by time, so a buck that hangs around the feeder shows up once, not as a stack of photos. On your phone, tablet or computer, even when photos come in late on one bar of signal.

Down to one animal, one camera, one place.

Search by species, camera or ranch, then filter by date, time of day, people or vehicles. The feed and its counts follow what you pick.

Whitetail, turkey, hogs, and the exotics you run.

Whitetail first, then turkey and feral hogs, and the exotics on high-fence places, such as axis, red deer and fallow. People and vehicles get flagged too, so you can check what's come through your gate. Species ID is live, and we keep checking it against what owners see on their own ground.

The WISR app's Sightings feed across two ranches: a red stag at the North Gate camera on one sample ranch, then a whitetail buck at the Creek Crossing camera on another. Searching sightings in the WISR app: filters for species, time and property, with the species list open, exotic and native big game. A photo in the WISR app: an axis buck framed and named, marked as a buck about five and a half, antlers 29 inches with three points a side.

03 Intelligence

Know before you drive out.

One brief for the whole day.

The last 24 hours on one screen: the alerts that need you, the sighting worth a look, your staff's open tasks, and the weather and moon. Plan the day, and the hunt, from there.

What needs fixing, first.

A camera that stops sending shows as No recent photos, then Offline, so you fix it before you've missed a week of the ground it watches.

An alert, with what to check.

Each one comes with the likely causes, in order. Acknowledge it so your staff knows it's handled, then put the fix on the task list.

The WISR morning brief: the last 24 hours, an alert that the Cedar Draw camera is offline, the top sighting (a red stag), three staff tasks, and the weather and moon phase. The WISR app's Cameras screen: Cedar Draw offline, Back Pasture with no recent photos, the rest online. A WISR alert: Cedar Draw camera offline, with suggested next steps and Acknowledge, Snooze and Resolve buttons.

Live

A week of photos, hour by hour.

When a camera stops sending, the alert email lays out its last seven days hour by hour, then reads the pattern in plain words. Photos that taper off over days point to an empty feeder or a dry trough. A camera that stops dead points to the camera. Either way, it lists what to check, in the order worth checking.

This is the alert email WISR sends today. The hour-by-hour chart appears once a camera has a few days of photos to compare.

A WISR alert email: the Gate Water Trough camera on a sample ranch hasn't sent a photo in 9 hours. A grid of photos per hour over 7 days shows them tapering from 45 a day to 7 before stopping, then what to do: is the feeder or water empty, then the battery, signal and SD card.
Photos tapered over six days before stopping: feed or water first.
The same alert email for a camera that stopped suddenly: about 38 photos a day, then nothing since 6:12 AM. What to do starts with the battery, signal and SD card.
Steady, then a sudden stop: the camera first.

Sample emails on sample data.

04 Mission planning

Make every hunt day count.

The HVT dossier.

Record the buck you're after with his age, antlers and beam on each photo he's in, and find those photos again by camera: which crossing, which feeder, what hour.

Next: recognizing the same animal on every camera, so the dossier keeps itself.

The conditions he moves in.

WISR records the weather and the moon for photos from cameras it can place: temperature, wind, pressure, moon phase, sunrise and sunset. Over a season, that's the raw material for his pattern: the wind he travels on, the moon that pushes him to night, the hour he shows at the feeder.

Next: those conditions shown on every photo, and WISR reading the pattern for you and flagging the days that match.

For the outfitter.

Book hunts on the evidence. Show a client photos of the buck from your own cameras before he books.

For the hunter.

Plan your days at the ranch around his photos: which camera, what hour, what weather. Not where he was last season.

Built around the cameras you own.

  1. Your cameras

    Reolink cellular cameras email their photos to WISR. We help you set it up, and give you a recommended camera list. More brands once we've proven them.

  2. WISR

    Checks every photo as it arrives, sorts it, and watches the cameras themselves.

  3. You and your staff

    Owner, manager and staff, each with their own access, in the browser on any device.

You own and look after your cameras and their data plans.

Built for how a ranch runs.

  1. Every ranch, one account.

    Run more than one place? Each ranch keeps its own cameras, staff and records, all from one sign-in.

    The WISR app listing two ranches on one account.

  2. Your whole staff, each with a role.

    Owners, managers and staff on their own logins. Each person sees the ranches they belong to, and does what their role allows.

    A ranch's members in the WISR app: an owner, a manager and two viewers, with when each was last active.

  3. Alerts that need you.

    A camera that stops sending photos, and people and vehicles at your gates once you turn those alerts on. Acknowledge, snooze or close each one, so nothing gets dropped.

    The WISR app alerts list with a warning that the Cedar Draw camera is offline.

  4. Tasks your staff acts on.

    A dead battery or an empty feeder becomes a task with a name and a due date on it, across every ranch you run.

    Tasks in the WISR app on two ranches, each assigned to a staff member, one in progress.

  5. Camera health, at a glance.

    Which cameras are online, which have no recent photos and which are offline, with when each last sent a photo. A camera firing all day on wind and grass gets flagged too.

    The WISR app cameras grouped by ranch: one offline, one with no recent photos, the rest online.

  6. Species ID: whitetail, turkey, hogs and exotics.

    Whitetail, turkey and feral hogs, and the exotics you run, such as axis, red deer and fallow, named by species when the model is sure. Live, and still being checked ranch by ranch.

Say it wiser.

Wildlife
Whitetail, turkey, hogs and the exotics you run, high fence and low. The animals on your place are the point.
Intelligence
What it means for your hunt and your ranch: what changed, which camera needs fixing, what to do first.
Surveillance
The watch over your ground. Your gates, your roads, your feeders. Nobody else's.
Reconnaissance
Every photo checked and sorted as it arrives. You know where to look before you head out.

Put your ranch on the list.

WISR is invite-only. It runs every day on two Texas ranches, one of about 3,600 acres with high and low fence, and one of about 507 acres. We add ranches a few at a time, so each one is set up right.

  1. 1 Request access: tell us about your place and your cameras.
  2. 2 We write back with questions and a time to talk.
  3. 3 When there's room, we set your ranch up on WISR.
