Connects field devices
Multiple RID2Caltopo tablets and DroneScout Bridges can participate in the same incident while the service manages ownership and duplicate observations.
The coordination service
One incident.
Multiple field teams.
r2c-tracker is the online coordination layer behind RID2Caltopo. It lets authorized members of an organization bring multiple tablets, Bridges, drone observations, records, and Incident Command workflows together without replacing the app's local field tools.
What the service does
Coordinates the incident, then stays out of the field workflow.
Preserves shared records
Organization-wide flight histories, timestamps, tracks, and exports support operational review and BVLOS record keeping.
Controls IC video access
Authorized IC personnel may request a live stream. The pilot approves it on the field tablet before video begins; administrators cannot bypass that consent.
Two ways to run it
Use the open source, or let us operate it.
$0 software
Self-host r2c-tracker.
Deploy the open-source service in your own cloud account and retain responsibility for hosting, updates, access control, backups, and administration.
Open the source repositoryGenerous usage allowance platform-funded during beta testing
Managed for your team.
We host and administer the tracker for volunteer organizations, provide onboarding, and fund a generous usage allowance during beta testing.
Request the managed pilotThe beta has no fixed end date, and R2C Tracker does not accept payments during the beta. Site administrators can monitor attributed usage, choose who receives the video requester role, and coordinate when their team uses streaming based on operational priorities and the available allowance. Each pilot still approves every stream request on the field device.
Cloud video storage, playback, and other bandwidth- or storage-heavy services are not included in the managed pilot. If added, they would be a separate optional tier with clear costs.
