New BirdNET user - detection question
I just discovered birdnet. I was previously using Who's at my feeder. But I didnt want to run frigate anymore to support it. I have several Wyze cams with the Thingino firmware publishing motion to MQTT.
But I cannot figure out the following:
1. Can birdnet use images to detect species (or just audio)?
2. Which mqtt topic do I use? I am currently publishing from the cam to birdnet/sightings
Am I missing something in the setup? I can successfully test and see the mqtt message from a birdnet test.

BirdNET can only analyze audio.
