WAMF

WAMF (Wildlife Activity Monitoring Framework) is an open-source, self-hosted application that turns bird detections from Frigate into a wildlife-focused record of what's visiting your garden, feeders or other monitored areas. When Frigate detects a bird, WAMF receives the event over MQTT, retrieves the associated snapshot and clip, identifies the species and stores the result as an observation. The WAMF web interface brings those observations together into a dedicated wildlife dashboard. You can browse recent visitors, view snapshots and clips, explore species history, see daily summaries and discover when wildlife is most active through activity-by-time-of-day analytics. Species information is also integrated into the interface. WAMF is aimed particularly at people already running Frigate for wildlife or bird cameras who want more from those detections than a collection of security-camera events. The project is fully self-hosted, with Docker as the recommended deployment method. WAMF currently integrates with an existing Frigate installation and MQTT broker and has been tested with Frigate 0.17.x and 0.18.0. WAMF originally began as a fork of Who's At My Feeder and has since developed into a larger standalone project focused on wildlife observation and activity monitoring.
