| The use of remotely positioned cameras to observe wildlife behavior and movement, or to help interpret and protect wildlife resources, has become increasingly popular on natural resource lands and refuges. This course will present a variety of proven, practical, and affordable technologies that can be used to remotely monitor wildlife and other natural resource-related subjects. Various remote camera technologies will be discussed, include the setup and operation of still-image “trail” cameras, triggered or time-cycled video surveillance cameras, fixed location “nest cams”, and video image web broadcasting. The class will include hands-on instruction with various remote camera devices and a review of an operating web-camera setup. |
