For example, small mammals can trigger a camera with an infrared sensor because these are warm blooded, but perhaps not so for a reptile that is cold blooded. Resolution could be a problem for small animals. Any good model for general purpose?
We sep up cameras to take a picture every 5 minutes. Good luck. Carlos
We've had our fair share of images of birds (mostly owls) even small ones and monitor lizards (not ant other reptiles) in our camera traps as bycatch data. I hear Reconyx is good, we use Cuddeback which is also good. Depending on which species you focus, you may want to have specific cameras and field designs.
Shah Nawaz Jelil , Carlos Ignacio Piña , excellent information thank you so much.
In tropical Asia, monitor lizards and pythons sometimes trigger traps (Reconyx and others) taregeted at mammals and birds. Are these warmer than other reptiles? It must be possible to use purely movement-sensitive sensors, but you will get a lot of moving leaves. Someone out there must be able advise on this.
Cualquier modelo que tenga sensor de movimiento y temperatura, con ángulo de zona de detección pequeño y a altura de colocación por debajo de los 30cm....La distancia de colocación dependerá de los objetivos del estudio
Mauricio Jerez - Generally camera trap settings will vary depending on the species of interest but this article may be of use to you if you are interested in reptiles and small mammals in particular: Article An improved camera trap for amphibians, reptiles, small mamm...
