Burgernet vs Observation

Be on the lookout for suspicious or missing persons, receive AMBER Alerts, and help make your neighborhood safer. Using the Burgernet app is free and anonymous. Nearly 4 out of 10 Burgernet cases are solved thanks to tips from participants. The more people take part, the greater the chance that something or someone will be found. How Burgernet works Burgernet is used in cases such as theft or burglary, hit-and-run accidents, robbery, and missing persons. Through the Burgernet app, you receive an alert whenever something like this happens in your area. Have you seen something? Then you can contact the police directly through the app. AMBER Alert Through the Burgernet app, you also receive AMBER Alerts when a missing child is in life-threatening danger. You can recognize an AMBER Alert by the orange color and the title AMBER Alert. About the app The app uses your smartphone’s location to send you notifications about incidents in your area — even when you’re away from home. Participation is anonymous; your personal data or location are not tracked.

With Observation you can easily record nature observations in the field. Our online image recognition AI helps you identify the species on your images. You can choose to use the app offline anywhere in the world. Your observation data is stored on your phone first. Saved observations can be uploaded to Observation.org when online. This app is part of Observation.org; an EU-based platform for world wide biodiversity monitoring and citizen science. Observations that you save in your account are publicly visible for everyone who visits Observation.org. Take a look at the website to see what other observers have recorded and explore all data collected by our community. Observations are validated by species experts, after which the records are made available for scientific research.
