How accurate is the AI detection?

Our model is trained on millions of European and North American wildlife images. The AI that recognises species doesn't train itself further on your photos — but TrailCamHub does get smarter about each individual camera over time.

Expect >95% accuracy on common species like deer, wild boar and fox over time. It's built on proven, conservation-grade models, and on clear shots it's very good — but no automated recognition is perfect. Accuracy depends on the photo: distance, lighting, night shots, motion blur, partial bodies and unusual angles all make mistakes possible, and rarer or look-alike species are harder than common ones. Think of it as a fast, powerful first pass rather than a guarantee — uncertain cases are flagged as needs review so they surface instead of hiding, and you can always confirm or correct a result.
