Mobile App Information

BiedjaCam

 
 
BiedjaCam mobile application features crop plan management and a streamlined storm damage application process. Both functionalities are based on geo-tagged photo technology.
 
As a farmer, you can easily insert the crops growing in your fields. Photos of the growth progress can be taken directly through BiedjaCam. Should a storm occur that damages the crops, the photos in BiedjaCam taken before the storm will serve as proof of what crops were being grown. This process will help the Government to better aid the farmers. 
 
 
The app also includes the following functionalities:
 
• Receive important reminders and notifications from ARPA
 
• Reply to messages sent by ARPA
 
• See all your registered parcels
 
• Follow EU aid applications
 
• See all payments received

What do you need to do when ARPA requests geo-tagged photos?

 

The following steps should be followed when a request for geo-tagged photo is received:

  1. When a request for geo-tagged is made, a message is sent to the app. The message can be accessed from the page My Conversations.
  2. Press on the location button in the message to redirect you to the Geo Photo Requests page. A list of pending markers is displayed here.
  3. Go on the field.
  4. If there is no internet connection on the field, switch to offline mode.
  5. Press on the marker. A field may have more than one marker.
  6. Press on the camera button and follow the instructions, arrows and marker (in the shape of a location icon). It is encouraged that more than one photo is taken for each marker so that different angles and positions of the field are covered.
  7. Notes may be attached to each photo taken.
  8. After all the photos are taken connect to the internet.
  9. Press “Submit” so that the photos are sent to the agency.
  10. Photos cannot be deleted and notes cannot be edited after the photos are submitted.
