This course will cover the use of both infra-red and thermal cameras, as well as the use of other camera types, such as trail cameras for catching videos of occasionally visited locations, such as tree roosts.
We will discuss the pro's and con's of the various camera types, including how they can be used to benefit your surveys in different scenarios, including the use of un-manned cameras during surveys. We will also delve into the analysis of footage, and how you can ensure that you are being more efficient with your post-survey data management.
