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).

The DOC AI Cam now recognises kōkako, dotterels and bitterns.

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.

We have just released a small software fix for the DOC AI Cam. This fixes an issue some cameras were having with their clocks not working correctly

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.

A software update for the DOC AI Cam that includes a number of bug fixes and support for faster Wi-Fi.

This is an analysis of how birdlife is changing in Akaroa. It was created by re-processing historic bird recordings now that many more birds can be automatically recognised. Tui and bellbirds have increased significantly, while blackbirds and morepork have decreased.

We have rolled out some improvements to our thermal AI models, both on the server and on the camera.

We have just released a small software update that fixes a bug that was in the software released two weeks ago. This bug meant some thermal and audio recordings were missed in low power mode. Our testing shows this seems to be working nicely now.

The newly released software for the DOC AI Cam includes integration with the low bandwidth network Celium, support for a broader range of batteries and bug fixes that improve reliability, including the common 10 minute recordings that happen in low power mode.
