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.

Getting started
- 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
- Deploy your server with Ansible (about an hour)
- Set up your project: register, configure settings, add cameras, invite users
- If you chose SpeciesNet, see the SpeciesNet setup for the species labels every project needs
Using the app
- Sites and cameras: how images are organised by place, and how camera moves are handled
- Service: plan field work on your cameras and keep their service history
- Install as an app: put AddaxAI Connect on your phone or computer
Integrations
- EarthRanger: send detections and camera alerts to an EarthRanger site as events on the ranger map
- Sensing Clues: send detections and camera alerts to a Sensing Clues group as observations in the Cluey app
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
- Testing an update: run an update against a copy of your production data first
- 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 holding a copy of production data
