App4Cam

App4Cam is an application running on non-lethal camera devices. It enables researchers to configure their camera traps efficiently and easily in the field as well as to access the data collected while maintaining a low energy consumption.

Motivation

Some widely used biodiversity monitoring practices are undesirable because they are lethal. For example, newts are often trapped for hours before they are identified, and insects are killed in many cases for species identification. What if we applied the newest technologies including affordable high-resolution cameras and AI classification models to these species? At LIST, we have developed devices for both examples mentioned. App4Cam is the software running on these devices.

Features

A website is available to which you can connect to via the access point the device provides.

• Check at a glance on its dashboard whether the device is working smoothly
• Access and delete the collected images and videos
• Configure your camera device efficiently and easily in the field
