AI-integrated drone software

Real-time wildlife detection,
from the air.

Drone Camera Action builds on-device AI that spots wildlife in live drone imagery — RGB and thermal — lets an operator confirm each sighting in one tap, and turns every flight into training-ready data.

What we build

An end-to-end detection platform

Drone, phone, and cloud working as one system — built for the field, where connectivity can't be assumed.

01 · FEED

Live video feed

Raw RGB or thermal frames stream from the drone over the local link and render in real time.

02 · DETECT

On-device ML

Dual-model YOLOv8 inference runs entirely on the device and switches automatically with the active camera — no signal required.

03 · ALERT

Detection alerts

The operator is notified the moment the model flags wildlife, with a bounding box over the feed.

04 · CONFIRM

One-tap confirm

A person in the loop confirms the species — capturing the frame and saving a trusted sighting.

05 · SYNC

Sync to cloud

Confirmed sightings upload to the backend as structured, geo-tagged records that feed the model training pipeline.

06 · IMPROVE

Models that learn

Every confirmed sighting becomes labelled data — so detection gets sharper over time.

From take-off to data

How it works

Five steps, field to cloud.

01

Connect

The drone controller and the phone discover each other over Wi-Fi; the live feed starts automatically.

02

Fly

Operators fly the survey while the app renders the camera feed in real time.

03

Detect

On-device models flag wildlife live and draw detections over the feed.

04

Confirm

One tap confirms the species and saves the sighting locally — even with no connectivity.

05

Sync

Back in range, sightings upload to the cloud as training-ready records.

Trained classes

Built for African wildlife

The detection models are designed around the species that matter most to reserves and conservancies — each with its own on-feed marker.
