My wife is taking part in the UK Big Garden Bird Watch and it got me thinking whether this could be automated.
We already have a Unifi G5 PTZ covering the garden so I thought it would be cool if this could detect birds and then some image analysis to count the different breeds. Does anybody know if there are any similar projects already? I’m assuming the cameras would need to be high enough resolution and I’m not sure if there are any image analysis APIs up to the task.
My wife does the same, I bought one of these, it does identify the birds and save small videos of them. Needs a £2.50/month subscription for the AI ID though.
I had hoped to integrate with HA but couldn’t find a way to do it so gave up
