Wildlife

Know which animal triggered the camera

A trail camera tells you something moved. NVR Bridge tells you what it was, keeps a running history for each species, and can alert you only when a particular animal shows up — including Australian wildlife most detectors miss entirely.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send the snapshots

    Point the camera's email or FTP alerts at us. Trail cameras that email over 4G work exactly the same way.

  2. 2

    Turn on animal detection

    The extra detection pass names the species rather than just saying 'animal', and wins over a generic match when the two overlap.

  3. 3

    Browse by species

    Every animal gets its own page: how often it's been seen, on which cameras, with every sighting boxed on the frame.

  4. 4

    Alert on the interesting ones

    Fire a webhook only for the species you care about, and let the rest accumulate quietly in the timeline.

What you get

  • Species named, not just 'animal detected'
  • Australian wildlife included — kangaroo, wallaby, koala and more
  • A page per species with every sighting and where it was seen
  • Alerts filtered to the animals you actually want to hear about
  • Detections drawn on the image so you can see what it matched
  • Works with trail cameras and normal IP cameras alike

Questions

Does it work with a 4G trail camera?

If it can email its photos, yes. That's the same path a mains-powered IP camera uses, and the camera doesn't need to be on your network at all.

How specific are the species?

Specific enough to be interesting — it distinguishes a wallaby from a kangaroo, for example. Every detection carries a confidence score, and low-confidence ones are hidden by default.

Can I get a daily summary instead of an alert each time?

Point the webhook at your own automation and batch it however you like, or just use the Animals page, which is already a rollup by species over any period.

Will it detect people too?

Yes — people, vehicles and common objects are detected alongside animals.

Try it with your own camera

Add a camera, point its email at the address we give you, and watch the first event land. It takes about five minutes.
