Software to facilitate and streamline camera trap data management: a review. WWF conservation technology series 1.1 181. Camera-trapping for conservation: a guide to best-practices. There are quite a few programs available for practitioners, but many of them have most of the same functionalities. The relatively few unique features that distinguish programs will help to determine what software to use, and what features are needed for specific studies will vary depending on their study designs. We welcome feedback at any time use of programs specifically designed for camera trap photos and their associated data is now recognized as the best method for data processing. Click here to review the comparison (last updated June 2020). As software and online tools are often subject to frequent updates and change, we recognize this as a document subject to change over time.
It provides an overview of platforms and software used in remote camera research in western Canada. To help camera trap users make this decision, we have developed a comparison of different camera data platforms. A number of platforms exist so it is important that users choose the one best suited to their needs. The WildCo Lab also has a GitHub page with additional R scripts you can download and use to explore your own data, including for single and multi-site studies and using R to extract GIS data for your camera trap project.ĭata platforms are web- and desktop-based tools used for efficient and standardized data management, sharing, and analysis of remote camera data. This document highlights some of the different analyses you can run with camera trap data and importantly, links to some useful data exploration scripts in R. Beirne has also created a great resource about how to create reproducible research with camera trap data. Christopher Beirne (UBC WildCo Lab) and takes you through the process of getting a memory card out of a camera trap through to producing useful and simple data exploration in R.ĭr.
