New webinar

Proactive trespass detection with AI

Catch the recording of our recent webinar to see how Lens helps organizations reduce monitoring costs and get ahead of risk by using remote sensing and automated detection. Spotting early signs of trespass or encroachment, using automated alerts to surface unplanned activities, and building a scalable monitoring workflow are just some of the topics we covered!

Education

Webinar: How to monitor watersheds at scale

Watch this session to explore how to leverage aerial imagery and tools to conduct watershed monitoring, restoration planning, and flood risk assessment.

Special offer

💸 Airbus tasking end-of-year promotion

The fall is a great time to task imagery before snowfall arrives, and Airbus is offering a special promotion through the end of the calendar year. For any two tasking orders that are submitted, you will get one free order! We're happy to help generate quotes for anyone who may be interested — please reach out to lens@upstream.tech to get started or use the tasking estimator tool in Lens.

Access the best geospatial data

Do you follow us on LinkedIn? Check out our recent post on the Lens Library — your all-in-one hub for satellite imagery and geospatial data. By partnering with leading commercial vendors and bringing it all under one roof, we streamlined the selection & purchasing process so monitoring teams can make faster, better-informed decisions.

Where on Earth?

In celebration of snow arriving in northern New England in the US, we're highlighting how snowy imagery can be surprisingly useful! Snow illuminates beautiful patterns on ice and land, and highlights a variety of activities on the ground. Click here to explore in high resolution and keep an eye out for: snowmobile tracks on the ice, sheds under tree cover, paths through the woods, docks that have been removed and others that remain, and more.
