Wildlife Identification
Carnyx are supplying compact camera systems to help identify wildlife in various situations. When triggered, these systems are programmed to record activity both day and night. Unlike traditional "Trail Cameras", these systems can be put into the smallest of places and will record video plus audio at 25 frames per second.

The Camera:
The camera choice is dependent on the situation, different cameras and lenses for different habitats and animals.
Size Matters. Ultra small camera modules are installed into burrows and nest entrances. Cameras with integral Infrared lighting are used in dark nest chambers or where animal activity is likely to be after dark. Wide angle lenses are used for overhead monitoring of large areas: animal tracks and regular routes.

The Recorder:
The recorder is a compact, weatherproof unit with an SDHC Card that can be removed and replaced. Two 8GB SDHC Cards are included, each capable of recording up to three hours of video and audio. The video recorder is triggered by movement in front of the camera. It will also record up to five seconds prior to the trigger, so we don't miss a thing. The video is date and time stamped. The SDHC Card is supplied with a USB2 adapter, so the video can be viewed on a standard PC to find out what has passed in front of the camera.... and when. The required video files are then copied onto the PC for archiving and sharing.

Installation:
There are many ways to install and fit the cameras, only limited by the imagination. Plus the camera and recorder can be up to 50 metres apart. Both units draw their power from a single 12 volt battery system sited with the recorder. The supplied battery is easily changed once a week.

Cost:
These systems can now be hired for as little as 5GBP per day. Contact production@carnyx.tv for more information.
