Detailed description
Lenstag Rescue checks images on the web for camera serial numbers. If it finds a serial number or similar information in an image, information about the image is sent over an encrypted connection to Lenstag Rescue where it will be used to help recover cameras flagged as stolen on Lenstag (for free!).
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?
The Lenstag Rescue Chrome extension is a fork of the open source StolenCameraFinder project Chrome extension on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/stolencamerafinder/
The extension was changed to send data over an encrypted connection and is used by a service, Lenstag, that's totally free.
How does it work?
Lenstag will occasionally ask Lenstag Rescue if it has seen any stolen camera serial numbers and if it has, Lenstag Rescue will give Lenstag information about the images to be use in a report given to the photographer with the stolen camera to aid in its recovery.
How anonymous is it?
The Chrome extension only sends data when it finds an image with serial numbers or other data in an image that can aid in a camera's recovery. The data is about the found image and does not contain any text data from the web page itself.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
