AddaxAI Connect

An open-source platform that automatically processes camera trap images with machine learning. It picks up images from your cameras via FTPS, detects and classifies animals, and shows you everything in a web interface with maps, charts, and notifications. Fully self-hosted on a single server.

Try the demo: demo.addaxai.com

Getting started

1. Check camera compatibility: any FTPS-capable camera works, but each model needs a profile. See the list of supported cameras and how to add yours
2. Deploy your server with Ansible (about an hour)
3. Set up your project: register, configure settings, add cameras, invite users
4. If you chose SpeciesNet, follow the SpeciesNet setup for taxonomy mapping

Using the app

• Sites and cameras: how images are organised by place, and how camera moves are handled
• Install as an app: put AddaxAI Connect on your phone or computer

Running your server

• Operations and monitoring: check service health, view logs, monitor the pipeline
• Update guide: safely update to new versions with backup and rollback
• Restore guide: rebuild a server from a backup when the old one is lost

Developer

• Architecture: technology stack, data flow, services, data storage, security, and user roles
• Dev server setup: create a development server from a production snapshot
