An improved tracking algorithm should result in better classification accuracy on the thermal videos.

We have updated our software with some useful improvements:

• Enhanced daily and weekly emails now include bird summaries and battery levels
• Invalid regional tags - If you know you don't have particular animals or birds in your region you can stop these showing. 
• Trap email alert settings

New camera update: Test external integrations in real time with live video playback and classification output. Includes pre-loaded test videos for key species like kiwi, stoats, and possums.

The DOC AI Cameras have been instrumental in helping Zealandia staff track and remove weasels that broke into the sanctuary.

The Orkney Islands are using 80 DOC AI Cams to help eradicate stoats and protect their vulnerable wildlife.

If you're using the DOC AI Cam to control a trap or communicate via the Celium network, you will configure the camera to run the AI on the camera. You can upload videos to test this functionality.

A comparison of 2 trail cameras and the DOC AI thermal camera. The trail cameras are cheaper and higher resolution. The thermal camera has better detection and the AI classification makes up for the higher cost.

We have released a software update for the DOC AI Cam that reads the battery voltage immediately on power up and has an improved algorithm for detecting the battery chemistry.

The Hanmer Springs Trapping Group is a great case study of how a small group can benefit from just one DOC AI Cam. They have been able to get a better understanding of the pests and birds and engage the community. After the trial they were able to purchase the camera (with the cost of the rental taken off).

Mask off a portion of the field of view of the thermal camera, so that movement in the masked off region won’t trigger a recording. This is useful if you have some areas that have movement that you’re not interested in. For example, water, sky, or foliage.

Hamilton City Council is using DOC AI Cams to save monitoring costs and significantly improve monitoring. The information is allowing them to take actions that will help protect endangered species.

DOC AI Cams are used to monitor an area of bush near Kauri Mountain in Northland during a 1080 treatment. The cameras provide an easy way to see the impact of the 1080 and rates at which the animals return. They also provide a great way to measure the impact on bird life.
