Sunbird Images has set itself the task of making biodiversity simple, cost-efficient and accessible to everyone without the need for specialist knowledge. The focus is on AI-supported solutions for the automated detection and analysis of bird and moth species in different areas. With this technology, companies such as golf courses or sports grounds can actively contribute to species conservation – and at the same time publicise their role as modern, nature-conscious locations.

The modular sensor technology offers a highly flexible and scalable platform for capturing both audio and visual data through integrated microphones and camera traps. These sensor units can operate autonomously in off-grid environments or be seamlessly integrated into existing power and data infrastructures. It is simply fuelled via a solar panel.

Their intuitive plug-and-play design enables rapid and hassle-free deployment, requiring minimal technical expertise or configuration effort on-site. This significantly reduces setup time and facilitates scalable rollouts across multiple locations. Furthermore, the sensors are fully interoperable with widely adopted communication standards allowing seamless integration into existing digital infrastructures. This compatibility ensures robust, real-time data transmission to centralized platforms or cloud-based systems, where the incoming data can be aggregated, processed, and analysed remotely. As a result, users benefit from immediate access to critical environmental insights, improved system oversight, and streamlined data management workflows.

This solar powered device can be easily set up in the field for automatic recording.

This versatility makes the system particularly well-suited for a broad spectrum of field applications, including but not limited to wildlife monitoring, biodiversity assessment, habitat analysis, and broader environmental research. By providing continuous, high-resolution audio and visual data, the system enables researchers and conservationists to detect, identify, and track species behavior and environmental changes over time with exceptional accuracy. Its low-power, low-maintenance design reduces the logistical burden typically associated with field deployments, allowing for long-term, unattended operation even in remote or challenging environments. This results in a powerful and scalable solution for generating actionable ecological insights and supporting data-driven conservation strategies.

The platform is designed to accommodate a diverse range of user groups by offering customizable access tailored to the specific needs and expertise levels of each audience. Whether it’s professional employees, recreational users, or curious citizens with a general interest in environmental data, the system ensures a seamless and personalized experience. Multilingual support enables users from different linguistic backgrounds to navigate and interact with the platform effortlessly, promoting inclusivity and wider engagement. Role-based access controls allow administrators to define permissions and functionalities for different user categories, ensuring that everyone receives relevant information and tools suited to their role—whether it’s detailed scientific data for researchers or simplified insights for casual observers.

Our platform is scalable, tried and tested in practice and is constantly evolving in close co-operation with science and practice.
