Smart Capture Feature Guide

Overview

Smart Capture is an AI-powered feature that allows you to control which photos and videos your camera uploads.

With Smart Capture enabled, you can choose specific species, and the camera will only upload captures that match your selection.

This helps you:

  • Receive only relevant photos and videos
  • Reduce unnecessary notifications
  • Significantly save cellular data usage

Any captures that do not match your selected species will still be safely stored on the SD card, but will not be uploaded.

How It Works

When Smart Capture is turned on:

  • The camera captures photos or videos as usual
  • GardePro AI analyzes the content directly on the camera and identifies the species
  • If the detected species matches your selected targets → the file is uploaded
  • If not → the file is saved locally on the SD card only

Additional notes:

  • Smart Capture is based on AI species recognition
  • Only selected species will trigger uploads
  • Non-matching captures do not consume your data plan

Supported Species

Smart Capture currently supports the following 8 species:

  • Buck
  • Doe
  • Bear
  • Turkey
  • Coyote
  • Wild Boar
  • Human
  • Vehicle

More species may be added in future updates.
