Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife. Multi-model local AI inference, runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi. - tphakala/birdnet-go

Birdnet-go is a real-time sound analyzer that detects bird species. It can take in audio from microphones. I set mine up to stream audio from my security cameras that I already had installed. There’s even a Home Assistant App, if you’re using it.

I live in a more suburban/semi-urban environment, but was really surprised to so many different bird species.

    It’s a small model that runs on your machine using a TFLite model. AI/ML models come in many different sizes. Some more conducive for running locally than others. There’s more info on the detection pipeline here.

    I didn’t write this, just found and self hosted it.

      Thanks.

      I understand now that this software does not use one of the big general AI providers but a specialised model (for birds esp.?) that runs locally; that I can get behind.

      Are there other keywords in software descriptions I can look for that help me make such distinctions?
