World wide, wildlife cameras are used in ecological zones to capture images of wildlife to observe the conservation status of a species. Recently, audio technology has been used to measure the 'noise' that forests make, which can show how many species are present there. However, reports show that species have declined due to habitat loss and poaching.

The Camo Camera is a wildlife camera that takes 2 wide-angled pictures and stitches them together to create a larger image. It is fitted with an audio device that can measure the 'noise' of a forest, and when a gunshot is heard, the position is reported to the police and they can take action.

Purpose

The purpose was to create a multi-functional wildlife camera, that camouflages extremely well with the surroundings, and takes 360 degree pictures with high resolution. It also has a frequency sensor that detects the frequency of sound waves. If the frequency matches that of a gun's, it will triangulate the position of the poacher, and report it to the police.

Solution

Camo Camera helps take pictures of wildlife to help understand their conservation status, and also prevents poaching, or specifically helps police catch poachers if there are any.

Audience

The product will be used in deciduous and tropical forests, but can be adapted to fit other types of forests as well.
