June 26, 2025 - EZVIZ, a global leader in smart home technology, has announced the international rollout of its self-developed wild animal detection algorithm, marking a significant milestone in its visual intelligence capabilities. As one of the first companies in the industry to introduce AI-powered wild animal detection, EZVIZ will debut the feature on its soon-to-be-launched battery-powered outdoor cameras, with future availability coming via software updates or subscription-based services.
Developed by the EZVIZ Al Lab, the algorithm uses multimodal data analysis and advanced scene recognition to accurately detect wildlife in real time. It can recognize up to 26 different animal species, including potentially dangerous ones like snakes, bears, and wolves, as well as protected or migratory species such as lions, elephants, and zebras. Users receive instant alerts and video recordings when wildlife is detected near their property, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts that will lead to personal safety risks or impair biodiversity.
“The development and application of this algorithm represents a significant technical breakthrough and our deep commitment to making technology more inclusive and beneficial for all,” said Po Wang, who's in charge of EZVIZ's international business center. A veteran product engineer and a firm tech evangelist, Wang led the development and global rollout of the algorithm. ‘We envision this as a universal public capability - one that, through the global reach of EZVIZ’s millions of smart home products, provides accessible safety and human-centered care to communities everywhere. At the same time, it opens up new possibilities for ecological protection and wildlife observation.’
The launch comes at a crucial time, with human-wildlife encounters becoming increasingly frequent. According to the World Health Organization, globally around 5 million people are bitten by snakes annually, and an estimate of 180,000 deaths are caused by animal bites. A joint report by World Wildlife Fund and the United Nations Environment Programme identifies human-wildlife conflict as a leading cause of wildlife population decline.
By integrating this AI technology into its widely distributed smart home products, EZVIZ provides a practical and scalable outdoor monitoring solution that benefits both people and the planet. EZVIZ plans to further develop the algorithm and increase its availability as part of its ongoing mission to protect life, respect nature and empower communities through inclusive, impactful technology.
萤石率先推出自研户外野生动物检测算法,以人道主义普惠技术提升居住安全与生态和谐
2025年6月26日——近日,全球智能家居领军品牌萤石宣布将在多个海外市场上线自主研发的多模态动物检测算法产品,成为领域内首批大规模推广相关能力的企业之一。相关功能将于近期首发应用落地于最新款萤石户外电池摄像机,未来将以软件升级或服务订阅等形式,逐步开放于更多萤石适用机型。
该算法基于多样化的数据生成方法和复杂场景识别,经由萤石算法实验室丰富的真实场景验证,可有效识别常见野生动物形态,快速、准确、清晰地捕捉多目标动物行为,以实时告警推送和视频信息,规避不必要的人兽冲突,维系人类居住地和动物栖息地的动态平衡。
萤石首次开放的算法能力将支持高达26种动物识别,其中包括蛇、熊、狼等易引发人身安全问题的危险性动物,以及狮子、大象、斑马等具有保护意义或存在迁徙行为的野生动物。
萤石国际营销业务负责人王劼表示,“动物检测算法的开发和应用,不仅代表着行业技术的深钻和突破,更是我们对技术向善、技术普惠的深刻践行。我们期待它成为一种普适的公共能力,通过遍布于全球的萤石智能产品,真正以触手可及的方式让每个人都能享受到技术所带来的安全保障和人文关怀,同时也为生态保护和动物观测开辟新的路径。”
作为深入全球一百三十多个国家的技术布道师和资深产品工程师,王劼正是此项算法的发明者和坚定推广者。近年来,全球范围内人类与野生动物的活动空间重叠加剧。据世界卫生组织估计,全球每年有500万人被蛇咬伤,各类动物咬伤导致的死亡人数可能超过18万人。另一方面,据世界自然基金会与联合国环境规划署2021年报告,人类与野生动物因近距离接触而引发的冲突是导致野生动物杀戮乃至锐减的最大原因之一。
未来,随着萤石动物检测算法的产品在全球范围的推进和迭代,萤石将持续呼吁并努力践行以科技守护生命、尊重自然、造福社会。更多信息可关注萤石官网www.ezviz.com。
