The accuracy of the AI identification is dependent upon the angle and clarity of the bird image. To get a more accurate result, ensure that you are using a picture that has a clear picture of the bird’s head, wings and feather patterns. The bird should be in the center of the image and be relatively still. Try taking multiple snapshots of the same bird and choose the best shot to attempt the AI identification. If multiple birds are in the image, the bird closest to the center and in the foreground will be identified.

1. Check that the power cable is connected from the solar panels to the main housing unit.
2. Check the power switch on the bottom of the feeder -ensure it is in the On position.
3. From within the Livestream view of the device, check that the battery level is sufficient. If the device is still not working, turn the power of the camera off and then on again. If you continue to have issues, contact our support team at support@trailoptics.com or 800-591-9750.
