Discussion / New Affordable Autonomous Insect Camera Trap

Outreach Robotics (based in Canada) has been working on a new insect camera trap to fill a gap. Our focus was on portability, affordability, energy efficiency, and ease of...

Comment / New Affordable Autonomous Insect Camera Trap

Thanks! Yes, we added electronics to power an external UV light only during periods when the camera is set to take pictures.

Discussion / Program to rent/borrow large numbers of camera traps?

Hey there, Are there ways to rent large numbers (~300) of camera traps for single field seasons?  Or are there any circular economy/lending programs out there?Thank you...

Comment / Program to rent/borrow large numbers of camera traps?

I don't know any, but we have the same program idea (basically democratizing resource on conservation tech) that focuses on Indonesia region. But we are progressing slow....

Hi all,I am a new user to passive acoustic monitors generally, and was looking at purchasing an audiomoth. I have a couple of questions that I hope the community here may have...

Comment / Audiomoth with solar panel in desert for anthropogenic noise and wildlife limitations and configuration

Highly recommend the Saffron Aid modified Song Meter Mini for a professional deployment. If you want to go down the audiomoth route it makes sense to look at options for the...

Comment / Transfer learning with BirdNet for avian and non-avian detections

@Retro Bowl I have trained BirdNet to detect additional species beyond those originally included in the model. My approach involved curating a custom dataset with labeled audio...

Comment / Blurring of humans in camera trap data

@slope game If you prefer not to use MegaDetector, you might consider other pre-trained object detection models like YOLOv5 or Faster R-CNN, which can detect humans and then apply...
