Surprised no one has recommended Bushnell. In Indonesia we use Bushnell 30MP Core DS-4K No Glow  119949C and Bushnell 32MP Core DS-4K Double Sensor 119987C, both are now the same price here. Depending on where you are they may be more expensive, but they retail in North America for close to USD 100. No wifi but in remote locations that doesn't matter. Low flash and good image/video quality. Definitely recommend getting a case for protection against animals (we have macaques and Sun bears). They like to grab hold and scratch a little but we've never had serious damage. 

Hi Stephanie, We are manufacturing an innovative AI-powered trail camera called DeterCam, and we are based in the UK: https://innovfactory.com/ 

The camera is equipped with our Edge AI technology, which allows it to detect only animals and send media (pictures/videos) only when an animal is present in front of the camera. This significantly reduces false triggers and power consumption.

Our Edge AI architecture allows the camera to operate for up to 1 year on battery power (assuming approximately 5 triggers per day). The system also allows full remote control from our cloud platform, including:

• Video duration
• PIR trigger settings
• Detection configuration
• Camera management and updates

The camera is equipped with a 4G module, allowing all media and detections to be uploaded directly to the cloud, meaning there is no need to physically collect data from the SD card.

We supply the complete solution, including manufacturing the battery packs ourselves. The total internal battery capacity can reach up to 32,500 mAh. To date, we have sold over 10,000 units worldwide.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

You can email me if you have any further questions: [email protected] 

Hi, are you looking to import these? Do you have any import tax considerations? This could impact which models you buy. I have been using Acorn models, very reliable and provide photo and 4K video with sound options.

Best wishes

Susan

That's a great idea @MandyEyrich ! Similar to your idea, I wrote up an article with geospatial highlights from ICTC 2026: https://wildlabs.net/en/article/wildlabs-geospatial-group-ictc-2026. 

Is the Human-Wildlife Coexistence article available yet? Would love to read it and share it with colleagues at Fauna & Flora.

What about this year? Who will be there?

I am planning to be there for the Unconference and some satellite events.

I've looked into adding external triggers to camera traps.  I've documented that effort here.  Basically, it involves board level work to hijack the trigger signal.  But as this signal is open drain, it's straightforward to wire-OR several of these signals from multiple cameras.  In your case, you can perform this OR operation using simple wireless units.

I'm afraid I don't see a way to abstract and extract the trigger functionality cleanly into a drop-in product.  Perhaps the best that can be done is to convert all participating cameras into slave units by replacing the IR sensor with a connector to which a master triggering source is attached.  This still requires individual board work, but is at least straightforward.

This looks amazing and I look forward to trying it out when I get the chance! 

Just wondering, when it comes to the AI recognitions, is there a way to "rename" the recognitions that were incorrect? 

Another hedgehog detection. This one from at least 20m away.



 

Cool!

makes me think of your other posting about shared/"extra" inferencing on a Jetson compute board , if edge sensors could just stream low fps stuff point-point back to it...

 

Hi, Kim,

This is really cool!

It seems to me that there are at least two different wolves in this video (Feb 7). Does your AI system identifies individuals?

@Hubertszcz maybe you have advice: "Minimum resolution or lens characteristics that are sufficient for guild-level classification" 

i don't really know what guild-level means.

@domvonmatter - do you have a photo or drawing example of what a carrion station would look like on the forest floor? like will the camera be on the ground? Will it be above the ground but looking down?

how big of an area does it need to image?

what data do you need to get out? Like behavior that might need full motion video but maybe lower visual resolution? or just identification that might need lower temporal resolution, but higher visual resolution

There aren’t that many close-focus trail cameras.  The only current model I’m aware of is the GardePro E8PCF.  It is fixed focus at 200mm (no zoom).  I have not used this camera, but know others who have.  It has a timelapse feature. One thing to check before buying is that the timelapse feature works at night.  The GP website has a picture that suggests this true, but I know (for example) that in Browning camera timelapse does not work at night.

[There are other options.  You can attach lenses from reading glasses to a standard focus trail camera to convert it to close focus.  I have developed firmware hacks for older Browning SpecOps and ReconForce cameras that allows the timelapse to work around the clock.  Alas, these hacks don’t work on the latest HP5-Ultra models, and retrofitting optics on a pile of cameras is probably not how you want to spend your time. I'd try the GP]
