Camera Trapping Module. In 'Ecological Field Monitoring Protocols Manual using the Ecological Monitoring System Australia'

This module is one of many that form the Ecological Field Monitoring Protocols Manual using the Ecological Monitoring System Australia (EMSA), available at https://emsa.tern.org.au/documents. The Camera Trapping Module covers the use of camera traps to monitor fauna species, including vertebrate pests, across the project area. The module includes protocols for the deployment, re-equipping and retrieval of camera traps, each of which collects all associated metadata in a standardised manner.

This module includes three complementary camera trapping protocols, each of which collects all associated metadata in a standardised manner in the Monitor app:

• Camera trap deployment – camera traps deployed at points of interest or in an array or Fauna Plot.
• Camera trap re-equipping – camera trap batteries and SD cards replaced to extend deployment.
• Camera trap retrieval – camera traps retrieved at the end of the deployment period.
