Camera traps are used to capture wildlife images. An infra red sensor is used to detect motion which then causes the inbuilt camera to take a photo.

​

Motion detection has the disadvantage that many of the photos taken (on average more than 50%) do not contain an animal. 

​

Images stored on the camera traps SD card, can now automatically be classified and sorted into species folders by machine vision software developed by Vigilance Technologies.
