Features

Built for practical wildlife monitoring.

Designed Around Frigate

WAMF uses Frigate as its event source, building on proven object detection to provide bird identification, observation management and a dedicated wildlife interface.

Observation Archive

Store observations, media, timestamps and rich species metadata in a structured archive.

REST API

Access detections, health information and statistics through a simple REST API for dashboards, Home Assistant and custom applications.

Media Retention

Clean up old media and keep storage from growing into a digital bramble patch.

From detection to observation

Turn Frigate detections into wildlife observations.

Detect

Frigate provides reliable object detection, event recording and camera management, forming the foundation that WAMF builds upon.

Identify

WAMF classifies wildlife using AI, enriching every detection with species information and observation metadata.

Explore

Observations, media and statistics are stored in a structured archive, making it easy to review wildlife activity over time.
