Early Warning Systems
In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, encounters between humans and wildlife are becoming increasingly common. To address these challenges, early warning systems have emerged as a potential tool to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts and ensure the safety of both people and wildlife.
Early warning applications
Early warning systems use advanced camera technology coupled with real-time notification capabilities to alert relevant authorities or individuals when specific animals are detected. Whether it’s the presence of elephants in agricultural lands, wolves near residential neighbourhoods, or poachers in protected areas, these systems offer timely alerts to minimize potential conflicts and facilitate proactive management strategies.
Continuous monitoring system
Early warning systems also function as robust continuous monitoring tools. Cameras automatically upload images, which are analyzed and stored in an interactive project dashboard. The dashboard presents results in a user-friendly format, including graphs, heatmaps, and tables. Real-time camera statuses (such as battery level, SD card capacity, and connectivity) are readily accessible, alongside project settings like phone numbers and thresholds. Furthermore, the dashboard serves as an online database, allowing users to search for species based on specific spatial and temporal criteria. Images and analytical results can also be conveniently downloaded in spreadsheet format.
Costs
The system is free to use if you already have the required hardware. AddaxAI-Connect is open source (MIT license), so there are no software licensing costs. You will need supporting hardware such as cameras, SIM cards, and a server. If these are already in place, you can run the system at no additional cost. Otherwise, hardware costs will apply. The setup is flexible. You can choose your own cameras, connectivity, and server infrastructure, and source them from any provider.
