Originally designed for hunters (to remove more sport from the “sport”), conservation groups are also using it to track wildlife in the wild. I am borrowing a couple of them from the Wildlife Conservation Network before they ship out to Africa.
It combines motion and heat sensors to detect an animal approach on the path, and then takes a series of photos. At night, it records in infrared, and the array of LEDs up top provides an IR flash that they don’t see.
The HAL red eye is normally off; this is just a test mode to see what it takes to trigger the sensors.
Hoping to catch the local coyote, deer, bunnies, bobcat, and if really lucky, mountain lion.
