Report a camera
Last updated 12 September 2026
If you operate a camera listed on Wild Watcher and want it removed or corrected, email support@wildwatcher.earth with the camera name or its page link. No justification is needed. We will disable it and reply to confirm.
Anyone can also use this address to report a camera that is in the wrong place, mislabelled, wrongly attributed, or showing something it should not.
What happens after you email
- We aim to acknowledge within two business days and to have the camera switched off within five. A request that names a whole source, rather than one camera, takes the whole source down in one action.
- Switching off is a single command against the live database, and it also marks the source so that the nightly refresh cannot quietly put the camera back. That last part is the one that usually goes wrong elsewhere, so it is built in rather than remembered.
- Every removal and every restoration is written to an internal log with the date, who asked, and how many cameras it affected, so if you ask us six months later whether we actually did it, there is an answer rather than a reassurance.
- Nothing is silently reinstated. If a camera ever comes back it is because someone asked for it to, and that is logged too.
How we treat cameras
Wild Watcher never hosts, records or rebroadcasts footage. Every camera plays in its operator’s own player or links to their own page, so operators keep their branding, their view counts and their ability to revoke access at any time by turning off embedding. Licence terms are reviewed per source, recorded in the repository, and enforced in code: a source whose licence does not permit embedding is only ever linked to, never framed.
