Modem updates and more
We have just released a new version of the software for the DOC AI Cam.
Modem update
Although we have done a lot of work on this release there is not a lot to say about it. Basically we've made the modem operation more robust. This is done through re-trying when commands fail and using a slightly different mode of operation. We've only tested it in areas with strong connectivity and it works well. We haven't tested it in areas with weak connectivity, where we suspect some of the historical problems have been.
If your camera doesn't currently have a reliable connection you will need to connect it to the internet. In the field the best way to do this may be to connect it to your phone's hotspot. If your app doesn't show an option for a software update in the General tab you can force one by clicking on Advanced, Advanced, About, and then the Run Salt Update button.
Updated AI model
This release includes a new model for running the AI on the camera. This is only used by a small number of people who are testing using the AI to control a trap, or integrating with the Celium network. The new model detects false positives quickly, giving the processor more time to detect animals. The net result is faster, better predictions.
