What is Lenstag Rescue?

Lenstag Rescue is a Chrome extension that aids in the recovery of stolen cameras. It employs a unique method of tracking down stolen cameras by checking for camera serial numbers in images across the web. If it identifies a serial number in an image, it sends the relevant data via a secure connection to Lenstag. The found details are then utilized to locate and recover the stolen camera registered on Lenstag - a free service providing a public platform for registering and flagging stolen photographic gear.

Detailed description

Frequently asked questions

What is Lenstag?

Lenstag is a free photographic equipment registry that creates a public web page if a registered item gets stolen. It's best if you add your gear before it gets stolen so you can flag it as stolen as soon as it disappears, but if your items are already missing, you can add them, too. Lenstag is available for Android (lens.tg/android), iOS (lens.tg/ios) and on the web at Lenstag.com.

What's the catch?

There's no catch. Lenstag only requires an email address and a password to get going. If you've already registered your gear on Lenstag and have flagged a camera as stolen, then Lenstag Rescue is already working for you.

Is Lenstag Rescue like StolenCameraFinder?
