Animal detection
Turn your CCTV cameras into intelligent animal detection sensors
Animal detection
We offer standard and FREE animal detection algorithms within a visionplatform.ai license.
If you are looking for animal detection, be aware of the accuracy levels of standard products. An algorithm is only as good as the data it’s trained on compared to the similarity of your own environment! We know from experience this is very challenging, and that’s why almost all out-of-the-box solutions fail. It might detect a cow in broad daylight, but completely miss a dog at night or mistake a bird for background noise on a foggy morning.
In visionplatform.ai you take our outstanding animal detection algorithm—trained to recognize bear, bird, cat, cow, dog, elephant, giraffe, horse, sheep, and zebra. If you notice missed detections or false positives, you can simply add your own footage, retrain the model, and improve results specific to your location.
Besides this huge advantage, you can also build on top of it. Want to detect additional animal types? No problem—just add the label in the platform, upload your own footage, label it, retrain the algorithm, and re-deploy it via our platform.
Use-cases with animal detection algorithms

intrusion prevention in rural or industrial areas
Unwanted animal intrusions can disrupt operations in farmlands, industrial zones, or storage facilities. With visionplatform.ai, you can detect specific animals (e.g., bears, cows, or dogs) approaching a perimeter, triggering alerts before damage or accidents occur. Fine-tune the algorithm by adding your own footage for site-specific accuracy.

wildlife monitoring and conservation
For researchers and conservationists, visionplatform.ai offers automated animal tracking in natural habitats. Detect elephants, giraffes, or zebras in the wild without disturbing the ecosystem. Our algorithm runs on edge devices, making it suitable for remote fieldwork with no connectivity.

airport runway safety
Bird strikes and animal crossings are serious threats to aircraft safety. Deploy visionplatform.ai to detect birds, dogs, or other animals near runways in real-time. Integrate alerts with local systems to trigger lights, alarms, or deterrent mechanisms.

smart farming and livestock monitoring
Track cows, sheep, and horses across large farms to improve livestock management. Our algorithm helps detect abnormal movement patterns, escapes, or unauthorized zones. Farmers gain visibility without the need for constant human oversight.

zoo and sanctuary security
Ensure safety within zoos or animal sanctuaries by monitoring enclosures for escape attempts or unauthorized animal movements. From cats to elephants, our algorithm supports a wide range of species and can be retrained for specific animal identification.

urban wildlife tracking
Cities face increasing interaction with wildlife such as birds, stray dogs, or even larger animals. visionplatform.ai can help municipalities monitor and analyze animal presence in urban environments, reducing risk and supporting coexistence strategies.
