Camera Traps

Hello, I am an independent researcher doing my study on assessing the effectiveness of Conservation incentives (Beehives) in deterring problematic animals apart from elephants (Zebra and Eland). I am looking for a place/person who can assist me in getting camera traps for my study.

Hi Agripina! Have you explored The Inventory at all? You can filter your search for "camera traps" and will see all the different camera traps that are available. (There are many more out there that aren't on the inventory, but it's a good place to start!) Is this helpful at all, or are you looking for another kind of assistance?

Hi Agripina!
I have always used Browning, and I have found the basic models to be perfectly adequate, using only 6 AA batteries (not 8 like the majority of camera traps). Now I am using the model BTC-8E, which has been a great success due to its excellent definition.
I am from Chile, and I know of a company that imports them. Perhaps you should look for someone in your country that does the same, because importation and customs duties are often a headache.
I recommend you to visit trailcampro.com to read reviews from customers on different brands and models of camera traps.
I hope this information is helpful
