how does this work?

  "If a bug crawls inside, a small camera takes a picture and sends it over the internet to a central database. A combination of artificial intelligence software and the human eye confirms whether a bedbug has indeed been caught. If so, a mobile phone alert warning is sent to relevant managers."

    If there are any attractants inside, there are going to be a lot of false negatives.

      They take a photo.

        That's what I mean, someone is going to have to review many, many photos. Sure they can leverage AI, but a single type II error at a hotel and they are chucking every single sensor.

          It seems like that's probably why they're offering it as a service for businesses where humans check the images rather than simply selling devices for $20 each or something like that?

      If it helps catch other bugs, that seems like a good thing.
