Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vigil?
Vigil is an intelligent wearable and mobile app designed to help dog owners monitor their pet’s well‑being. It learns each dog’s unique behaviour patterns and notifies you when something seems out of the ordinary.
How does Vigil work?
The Vigil collar contains low‑power motion sensors that capture your dog’s activity throughout the day. Our algorithms establish a baseline and detect deviations that may signal restlessness or distress. You receive updates via the app with clear, actionable insights.
Will Vigil include heart‑rate or other biometric sensors?
Our first product focuses on motion and behaviour because it provides enormous insight while keeping the device lightweight and affordable. We’re designing Vigil with modularity in mind, so future versions may include heart‑rate, respiratory and other sensors as optional upgrades.
Does Vigil record my voice or video?
No. Vigil prioritises privacy by processing data on the device whenever possible. We do not record audio or video without your explicit consent, and we never share your dog’s data with third parties.
When will Vigil be available?
We are currently in development and plan to begin limited beta testing later this year. Sign up for the waitlist on our home page to receive updates and the opportunity to participate in early access programmes.
