Frequently Asked Questions

What cameras are supported?

BirdWatchAI works with any camera that supports RTSP streaming. We recommend the TAPO C113 for its excellent image quality and affordable price (~$30). Other popular options include Wyze, Reolink, and Amcrest cameras.

Is my video feed sent to the cloud?

No! All processing happens 100% locally on your computer. Your camera feed, snapshots, and data never leave your home network. We take privacy seriously.

How accurate is the bird identification?

Our AI model recognizes 965+ North American bird species with high accuracy. You can adjust the confidence threshold to balance between catching more birds vs. reducing false positives.

Currently BirdWatchAI is Windows-only (Windows 10 and 11). Mac and Linux versions may be developed in the future based on demand.

What happens after the trial ends?

After 14 days, the app will continue to work but exports will have a watermark. Simply purchase a license key to remove the watermark and unlock full functionality forever.

Do I need an internet connection?

Bird detection works offline! You only need internet for push notifications, email alerts, and weather data. The core functionality works completely locally.
