Hi all,
I work for Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in Thailand. We work closely with several wildlife sanctuaries and national parcs in the southern Western Forest Complex of Thailand, which is a large tract of contiguous biodiverse protected areas along the Thai-Myanmar border. One of the parks we collaborate with has requested support for the installation of a CCTV set-up at certain park entry points to monitor real-time illegal entry. In addition, because the park border is along a river they have also inquired about an acoustic or camera-based sensor that could be deployed on the river (on a buoy?) to monitor and combat illegal boat traffic upriver into the PA.
If anyone has recommendations for (1) real-time CCTV monitoring (land and river based) tech and (2) funding opportunities, such as small tech or enforcement grants, we would be deeply appreciative. Many thanks!

Hi,
I've been working on a buoy-mounted underwater acoustic recorder, kinda like what you're talking about. I'll send you a concept note.
