Add my household
Two details. Thirty seconds. You're on the map.
How it works
Three steps. No hardware.
Postcode and email. That's the whole ask. You're on your suburb's map with your neighbours, no card, no commitment.
Share the page into your street's group chat. The more neighbours who add their household, the sooner a licensed nightly patrol rolls through, and the cheaper it gets for everyone.
A vetted, licensed private security operator slow-passes your suburb, dusk to dawn. Every pass GPS-logged in your app. You only pay if you choose to switch it on.
What your street is adding
Not a guard. Not a deterrent sticker.
An unmarked car. A licensed private security operator drives a slow lap of your street on the nights the street asks 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.
The street schedules patrols a night at a time, a week at a time, or on standing order. Cancel any night from the app: away, guests over, want it quiet. No phone call.
Sample log
The morning you wake to five lines of proof.
What your street sees in the app the morning after a pass. Each entry is time-stamped, GPS-pinged, and stamped with the operator's name and Victorian Private Security licence number. Tap any pass for the kerb-side photo if you've opted in.
Forward the whole night to your insurer, your strata, your partner. The log is yours.
Sample shown is illustrative. Live logbooks begin with the founding pilot.

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.
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: Decline any operator from your street, without reason.
- Insured: Public liability and professional indemnity covered by Vigil Guard.

When enough of you join
A licensed nightly patrol, for the whole street.
Once enough neighbours are on the map, a licensed operator patrols the street dusk to dawn. Adding your household is free and commits you to nothing. If your street reaches the threshold, you choose then whether to switch it on. The more of you, the better it works.
What it costs
Free to pledge. Cheaper the more of you join.
Pledging costs nothing and never will. You only ever pay if your suburb's patrol launches and your household chooses to switch it on. The nightly patrol is one shared cost, split across every household that's in — so the price per household falls as your suburb grows.
The patrol launches once your suburb reaches 200 pledged households. No card until then, no lock-in after — cancel any month. Every neighbour you bring in moves your whole suburb down the price ladder.
The panic button
Free for every member. Yours to control.
The Vigil Guard panic button costs nothing — it's free in the app for every Australian, whether your suburb has a patrol or not. Press and hold, and your four chosen contacts get called and texted at once, with your street name and a live map of exactly where you are.
You decide who those four are — family, a neighbour two doors down, whoever actually picks up at 2am. Only they see your precise live map. Your street gets the alert with an approximate area — never your address, never a live track. And once your suburb's patrol is running, the on-shift driver can be flashed your location too, so the car comes to you.
Street map pins only go to verified neighbours — residents vouched for by others on their street. Vouching switches on once enough households in your postcode have joined, so two strangers can't rubber-stamp each other. Someone who just installed the app and typed in your street name sees nothing.
- Free: No subscription, no unlock. The panic button ships free with the app, everywhere in Australia.
- Your four: You pick the four contacts who get the call, the text, and the live map. Change them any time.
- Your location, your rules: Precise live GPS goes to your four contacts only. Your vetted street sees the approximate area; the on-shift patrol car can be added in patrol suburbs.
- Patrol response: In patrol suburbs, an alert flashes the on-shift driver with your location so the car heads to you.
- Verified neighbours: Households are confirmed at their address, and a verified neighbour can vouch for a new one — street alerts stay trusted.
In an emergency, always call 000 first. The panic button gets the people around you moving while help is on the way — it is not a substitute for triple zero.
