C5 WILDLIFE MONITOR

Why Choose the C5 Wildlife & Pest Tracker?

• State-of-the-Art Multi-Model Edge AI: Powered by leading bioacoustic AI frameworks—including BirdNet v2 or v3 and Google Perch v2-processing audio in real time right at the device.
• User-Controlled AI Pipelines:Choose to run AI models independently or simultaneously in parallel, giving you the ability to select methods that best suit your project.
• Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates: We can remotely deploy new AI models, software updates, custom detection algorithms, or adjust alert thresholds remotely without the need to return to deployed devices.
• Continuous 24/7 Autonomous Logging: Solar-powered operation unlocks uninterrupted field surveillance.
• Real-Time Automated Alerts: Instant alerts with audio snippets the moment target species are heard can be transmitted to teams who can immediately validate a call by listening to what the AI heard.
• Audit-Ready Ecological Data: Generate processed CSV datasets, raw audio snippets for validation and model retraining purposes, and raw recordings for conservation studies and environmental impact assessments.

Flexible Edge AI: Put You in Control of Your Data Collection Methods

Several state-of-the art AI models and terrestrial bioacoustics detectors/classifiers are widely used in the scientific community. This means that existing monitoring projects have established methods used for monitoring certain ecosystems. The C5 Monitor offers the ability to run different, or multiple AI models for comparable purposes, models such as BirdNet, Perch v2 or custom models. This means researchers can deploy their own methods at the edge.

Every ecosystem is unique, and monitoring priorities change over time. The C5 Monitor puts control in the hands of ecologists.

• Simultaneous Multi-Model Pipeline: Run BirdNet alongside Google's Perch v2 concurrently to compare performance that best suits the environment.
• Targeted Detection Modes: Isolate specific species calls, such as kiwi, native bats, or invasive predators, by toggling dedicated AI detection models on or off.
• Model retraining: Validate species classifications to fine-tune models to improve performance post-deployment.
• Seamless OTA Evolution: As AI evolves, over-the-air updates ensures you always have the latest technology available.

Benefits for Stakeholders

• Ecologists & Conservation Teams: Eliminate manual SD card retrieval and gain real-time, as well as historical, insights on habitat use by vocal species.
• Government Agencies & Councils: Build transparent and verifiable datasets on birds and pests in regions that are hard to monitor using traditional methods.
• Consultants & Regulators: Survey habitats and obtain baseline data on species diversity and habitat use to inform impact assessments.
• Researchers & Universities: Deploy BirdNet and/or Perch v2, or own custom model used on existing projects, to the edge and automate your data collection and processing, which equals more time to focus on what matters.
