Camera traps have been a key part of the conservation toolkit for decades. Remotely triggered video or still cameras allow researchers and managers to monitor cryptic species, survey populations, and support enforcement responses by documenting illegal activities. Increasingly, machine learning is being implemented to automate the processing of data generated by camera traps.
A recent study published showed that, despite being well-established and widely used tools in conservation, progress in the development of camera traps has plateaued since the emergence of the modern model in the mid-2000s, leaving users struggling with many of the same issues they faced a decade ago. That manufacturer ratings have not improved over time, despite technological advancements, demonstrates the need for a new generation of innovative conservation camera traps. Join this group and explore existing efforts, established needs, and what next-generation camera traps might look like - including the integration of AI for data processing through initiatives like Wildlife Insights and Wild Me.
Group Highlights:
Our past Tech Tutors seasons featured multiple episodes for experienced and new camera trappers. How Do I Repair My Camera Traps? featured WILDLABS members Laure Joanny, Alistair Stewart, and Rob Appleby and featured many troubleshooting and DIY resources for common issues.
For camera trap users looking to incorporate machine learning into the data analysis process, Sara Beery's How do I get started using machine learning for my camera traps? is an incredible resource discussing the user-friendly tool MegaDetector.
And for those who are new to camera trapping, Marcella Kelly's How do I choose the right camera trap(s) based on interests, goals, and species? will help you make important decisions based on factors like species, environment, power, durability, and more.
Finally, for an in-depth conversation on camera trap hardware and software, check out the Camera Traps Virtual Meetup featuring Sara Beery, Roland Kays, and Sam Seccombe.
And while you're here, be sure to stop by the camera trap community's collaborative troubleshooting data bank, where we're compiling common problems with the goal of creating a consistent place to exchange tips and tricks!

Nice, thanks Colin! Are you deploying cameras as part of the phascogale project?
Paul - are you quite sure you don't need some camera trap photos of some gorgeous Australian mammals for your guidelines as well?
31 March 2017 10:28am
Steph,
Not quite. I'm coordinating a fauna monitoring project for a Landcare network and, of course, we hope to get phascogales. I've just retrieved a batch of cameras from nest box monitoring duty for the phascogale project and their next role will be to investigate a possible sighting of a Squirrel Glider in the area.

Hi Jankees
Thanks for your reply,
If there have existing network like RoyalKPNN.V. provide mobile phone service, there will be no problem, 3G/4G camera traps will works well. each cam 250 USD at the moment.
Now days hundreds of chinese tech team are working on LoRa and NB-IoT solutions as well. All of them want to be successfull like HUAWEI,ZTE and DJI. Nice people, good team, team work ,working 12 hours each day like machine, like arms race.
I am sure they are willing to support anti-poaching. I am not techman,but we are chinese, we have the duty to solve problems, be responsible for it. If you come to china oneday, let me know.
Thanks, and your sensingclues is great.

A number of good points have been made. In terms of remote-enable camera traps, you will mainly find one that use cellular data signals to transmit images. Typically these are thumbnails rather full resolution, so you will likely still need to retrieve teh emory cards for analysis. Also, traps that transmit images tend to have a lionger time lag between shots, which can be a problem. Hunting web sites tend to have the most complete reviews and discussions of the various models.
If you want to use citizen science in the data analysis process, I would suggest looking at Zooniverse (www.zooniverse.org). It has a pretty well-thought-out platform.

Remote Camera Data Processing - Counting Individual Animals?
10 November 2016 12:30am
20 January 2017 12:04am
Hi Kate, It all depends on the specie and data set accuracy you are trying to collect. If you are purely documenting frequency of visits, this is straight forward. However, if you are recording numbers then further analysis of photos may be needed. Some animals like foxes have distinctive marks or shapes, whilst smaller mammals can be a lot harder. If this is impossible, then a time limit should be defined across all camera traps. From all the papers I have read and projects we have worked with, there doesn’t seem to be clear standard. Hope this helps. Mike - handykam
3 February 2017 2:00am
Hi Kate, this may be a bit late for your analysis but I will put here for future reference. The case you mention would be to detemine independent events, not necesarily different individuals. Unless there is conspicuous colour, pattern, size, sex or other scars/markings then you shouldn't label them as different individuals. I haven't found much analysis or discussion on this point so it seems prior experience or a "best-guess" is used to determine the time between independent events. Within the R package "camtrapR" vignette it is mentioned (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/camtrapR/vignettes/DataExploration.html) "The criterion for temporal independence between records ... will affect the results of the activity plots" and you may have other data to correlate activity with abundance or density.
If you are using and occupancy analysis this may be trivial as you will likely be lumping multiple nights of survey into a single detection period for each camera anyway (we have used six 10-day detection periods for cats in central Aus).
SECR methods may also be more useful for calculating density. Timing of events BETWEEN cameras can be used to show that photos are of different indivduals as they cannont exist in two places simultaneously or travel at fast enough rate to be captured in that time frame (clocks must be synchronised).
I hope you have had as good a season in Bon Bon as we have in Alice Springs. Cheers, Al
5 February 2017 8:58am
The facts are simple. If you violate the assumption of independence of sampling events you will bias the result. In the event of multiple observations by overestimating occupancy due to counting the same animal twice. There is therefore no answer to your problem. People try to overcome it by chosing a particular random number to try and standardise the method across sampling sessions. Let us say we decide to use one hour between new samples in all our sampling sessions. If abundance changes between sessions our ability to detect an animal may change and our result may therefore be biased up or down depending on the trend. So we allow detectability to vary between samples to try and reduce this bias. This is done through assessing the results of the replicate samples i.e. n days.
However, the session time determines how many counts are reduced to presence only and as session time increases the variance of the occupancy estimate may grow. But we don't know if this increasing variance/ loss of accuracy is based on a real loss of information or not because we don't know if we are correctly throwing away information portraying the same individual or information on the presence of multiple individuals. Therefore selection of session time may effect our ability to detect a change in occupancy even with accounting for varying detection. i.e. detection may be equal if our session time is too short. In other words if in both one hour AND two hours we detect multiple animals on the same number of plots, convert this to the binomial (presence/absence), then detectability will be equal for both sessions. But if in one hour we detect half the number of animals as in two hours what does this say about occupancy?
Spatially explict (SE) models will also not help because as far as I know they are based on allowing multiple detections across plots, not within plots. Or cameras in this case.
Having said this there is apparently some hope in marking a portion of individuals to increase the accuracy of SECR or SE unmarked in this case. So my only advice would be to run an experiment with marking some foxes and use a SE model with predominantly unmarked indiviudals.
On a more jovial note you could simply mine the data by assessing the power to detect a change between pre/post baiting using a variety of different session times. The reality of such a result is highly dubious but it might inspire more thought on the behaviour of this particular situation. Failing all this youy could run away and join the circus.

Hi Heidi,
You might also consider becoming involved in the eMammal project (emammal.si.edu) that the Smithsonian has recently developed. It has tools for both uploading and coding camera trap images, with the bonus that they are ultimately archived and made available by the Smithsonian for future researchers. My opinion is that moving toward open-access data will make all of our efforts more valuable into the future. I'm using eMammal, but not one of the developers or associated with the Smithsonian.

Camera trapping is the new kid on the block, and it is still talking like a 5-year old ! It will take some time, and some journal editors insisting on uniform and properly used terms before everyone can be sure what everyone else is talking about.
For what it's worth, here is what I understand when I read the terms you list;
Survey - the process of designing the study, putting out and servicing the camera traps, collating and analysing data and writing it up. So much much more than just the time that the camera traps were in the field.
Site - a spot on the ground. Usually these days specified as a GPS location. What you describe as a site I would call a study area.
Station - I do not recall having read this in connection with camera traps, and I would not use it. I admit that this is not consistent; I have read and I would use "bait station" or "feeding station" interchangebly with "baiting site" or "feeding site". It is of course possible to station a camera trap at a baiting site, or site a camera trap at a feeding station !!
Camera - is certainly a physical device that takes photos, but you cannot record animals with just a camera, you need someting to trigger it. A self-triggering camera is a camera trap (or trail camera, game camera etc).
A station session (see above about station) would be OK is site was substituted for station.

Hi folks,
for Site - in our camera trap data base we use the mountain or National/Nature park
Survey - is connected to the time scale - i.e. This mountain2015 or 2016
Station is the actual place of the cameras (1 or 2) with GPS coordinates

@heidi.h Definitely a valid question. It looks like they have it connected to a zooniverse project, which means they are using citizen science to not only set up and maintain the cameras, but to process the data. Pretty neat.
What we do
Our main task is to get our trail camera volunteers up and running with equipment and training. Volunteers can now apply to host a camera in Wisconsin survey blocks where they have access to land (visit dnr.wi.gov, keyword "Snapshot Wisconsin" for more information). Trail camera volunteers are in charge of setting up a camera and retrieving its SD card (containing saved photos) at least four times per year. Volunteers then send the photos to WDNR to be posted on Zooniverse. By the end of 2017, we expect to have enough cameras for > 2000 volunteers to participate in the project -- these cameras will produce millions of photos each year!
While we get our trail camera volunteers set up, we have plenty of other photos to show the Zooniverse community. WDNR staff have placed over 300 trail cameras in two areas of the state now home to a species of elk (Cervus elaphus) formerly abundant throughout North America. Elk were extirpated from Wisconsin in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat loss. Reintroduction efforts began in 1995 and continue today, and we're curious to know how the elk are doing! Classifying the photos from the elk reintroduction areas will give us great information about population size and distribution, and examine how elk presence overlaps with that of wolves--natural predators of elk.
5 October 2016 3:42pm
But in answer to your question, @P.Glover.Kapfer , I haven't heard of any near this large. TEAM Network would be the closest - 17 sites, 14 countries and approximately 1000 camera traps deployed over 2000km 2 that are monitored annually. @efegraus - does TEAM Network have ambitions to be expand to this sort of scale?
@ollie.wearn perhaps you might know of some other big scale camera trapping projects?

How many cameras in a camera trap?
4 July 2016 4:32am
11 July 2016 2:55pm
Hi
In some cases you need to recognize individuals, such as in capture-recapture analysis for abundance/density estimations, or you might want an index of individuals that are detected (instead of number of detection).
If you need to recognize individuals is better if you have both flanks of the animal photographed, and even better if the animal has natural marks (such as rosettes or stripes like jaguars or tigers), but you can also use scars and general body complexion to help.
You can still make a capture-recapture study with one camera trap, but you have to choose only pictures of one side of the animal to use, and discard all the other pictures of the other side (since you won't know if are the same animal), doing that you decrease the detection probability, because now it would be the product of the likelihood of the animal walking trough the camera and the likelihood of going in the direction that you need.
Using one camera per site is a good setup for a site occupancy study, and you can even estimate abundance with the Royle-Nichols method, if your data fits it.
I hope this helps

We have just started testing an array of three cameras recording video at an African wild dog marking site. The idea is to give seamless coverage of an area larger than can be monitored by one camera, with maximum chance of detecting animals approaching from any direction. As a bonus it produces pictures of both sides. The cameras have only been out for a week, so it is too early to assess how well the arrangement works.
1 November 2016 1:38pm
We have a set of three Bushnells covering an African wild dog scent-marking site. They are at the apices of a triangle, with each camera just at the edge of the field of view of one of the others. This gives us a higher probability of detecting animals at the site, a better view of the action on at least one of the cameras, and no dead spots below each camera.
I was hoping to use two Reconyx Ultrafire XR6s on game trails at each of ten scent stations, but the cameras cannot detect animals walking towards or away from them.

Hi Steph - just to follow up on your post: @MarcusRowcliffe , James Durrant and I have been working on a bit of software to implement the "computer vision" techniques that are mentioned in that paragraph. You can see a demonstration of it in action here. It requires camera-trappers to "calibrate" their camera traps during setup (or take-down), by taking pictures of a standard object (for example, we use a 1m pole held vertically) at different distances. The calibration takes ~10 mins per location. From this, you can reconstruct the paths that animals take infront of cameras, the total distance they travelled, and therefore their speed.

I was initially thinking of dozens or maybe even hundreds of nodes coming back to a central wired connection point. I wonder if something like Google's project Loon could work in place of an on-the-ground network.
But stepping back from the tech for a moment, really the problem we're trying to solve here is being able to have remote monitoring cameras that don't need anyone to go out to change batteries or memory cards. After salaries, vehicles/transportation is the top expense at pretty much all of the conservation partners we have. Anything we can do to reduce the travel (and the time of the people as well) is huge.
1 December 2015 6:37pm
So, in terms of power, does the "classic" solution with a set of solar panel cells on top of the box have some major flaws? I'm pretty sure I've seen self-powered meteo stations looking like this positioned along motorways/higways (don't remember what country or even a continent was it :-) Not being an expert in photo-voltaics, I would risk saying that a purposely-designed cell pointing up, directly at the sun, will have better efficiency than a re-purposed CMOS censor :-)
And indeed, talking to something overhead (either the baloons or Facebook's drones - forgot the name - or maybe even satellites?) would be probably much simpler than ground-based communication. If we had big enough energy budget, the communication channel would be "relatively easy" to implement...
4 July 2016 11:51am
Some camera trap manufacturers offer solar power as an add-on or option off the shelf. I agree that using the image seems like a solution looking for a problem.
