01 · The nightly patrol

We drive past
your house, tonight.

An unmarked car. A vetted operator. A slow pass of your street between dusk and dawn — logged in your app, with the time and the operator's ID, before you've made your morning coffee.

What you're actually paying for

Not a guard. Not a deterrent sticker.

A licensed private security operator drives a slow lap of your street on the nights you ask for it. They check your gate, your kerb, your front door. If something is wrong, they radio it in and stay until it's resolved. If nothing is wrong, you read about it in the morning.

You schedule patrols a night at a time, a week at a time, or set them on standing order. You can cancel any night from the app — leaving the country, having guests, want the street quiet — without a phone call.

Sample log

The morning you wake to five lines of proof.

Each line is a real entry from a real operator. Time, GPS coordinate, an "all clear" or a description of what they found. Tap any line for a still photo of the kerb if you've opted in.

Forward the whole night to your insurer, your strata, your partner. The log is yours.

Your right of veto

Decline any operator from your street, without reason, at any time. We reassign within 24 hours.

The operator code

Who is driving past your house.

Every Vigil Guard operator carries a licence, an ID number, a written code of conduct, and a record of every street they have ever patrolled. Their ID appears in your log on every pass. If an operator's name appears on a street you do not want them on, you say so and we honour it without question, without explanation.

Operators do not approach the property. They do not enter. They do not engage. They drive past, they look, they log, and — if something is wrong — they call dispatch and stay nearby until the situation is resolved.

  • Licensed — Class 1A operator licence, current and verified.
  • Vetted — Police check, reference check, character interview.
  • Numbered — Permanent operator ID visible in every log entry.
  • Vetoable — You can decline any operator from your street, without reason.
  • Insured — Public liability and professional indemnity covered by Vigil Guard.
