AI Camera Eyes Mount Crawford Forest | Adelaide News

South Australia’s bushfire defense just got a major upgrade with the launch of a new AI-powered camera at Mount Crawford Forest — the first of its kind in a peri-urban zone where forests meet farms and homes. Built on lessons from eight successful cameras in the Limestone Coast, this high-tech system combines ultra-HD imaging, satellite data, and human oversight to spot fires faster than ever. With nine cameras now active across the state covering half a million hectares, it’s not replacing existing systems but adding a crucial layer of protection — especially as fire season looms. The tech is already safeguarding a hotspot that draws a million visitors annually, while also paving the way for broader AI use in public services, including a looming Royal Commission. Early detection = less damage, and this is how they’re making it happen.
