Automated Wildlife Video Surveillance Systems
The Faunatech Video Surveillance Recorders have been developed
to provide researchers with powerful and programmable user-friendly
tools for the automated and extensive field recording of animal
behaviour. Additional applications include covert security surveillance
and trail monitoring.
Each model has been developed as an integrated and self-contained
system, designed to:
- be field portable;
- be easy to setup
and operate by non-technical users;
- be flexible,
enabling effective deployments across a broad range of study situations;
- consume low
power to maximise operating life on small batteries;
- allow unattended
trouble-free operation in remote field locations for extended
periods.
The range consists of the Camcorder based system, and a number
of versions of the Modular system. Options include a variety of
camera/lens combinations, auxiliary infra-red illuminators, a number
of sensors types, solar rechargers, and customised software for
special applications. The descriptions below refer to the "deluxe"
model of the camcorder and modular system respectively.
