This book guides readers on using CCTV technology for wildlife monitoring, making it accessible for both amateurs and professionals. CCTV for Wildlife Monitoring is an essential resource.

This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to utilizing CCTV technology for nature watching, conservation efforts, and ecological research. The unique capabilities of CCTV allow for real-time wildlife monitoring, streaming video online, capturing images of fast-moving species, and conducting long-term observations in various habitats. With this technology, wildlife enthusiasts can gain insights into animal behavior that are often difficult to achieve through traditional methods.

CCTV for Wildlife Monitoring offers readers a wealth of information on the diverse range of CCTV cameras, recording devices, and accessories that can be adapted for wildlife observation. Author Susan Young, with her expertise in engineering, photography, and wildlife, demystifies the technical aspects of recording. She provides step-by-step guidance on using different types of cameras, from basic analogue to high-definition options, ensuring that even those with no prior knowledge can confidently start their wildlife recording journey.

In addition to the technical details, the book includes in-depth methods for observing various species such as foxes, badgers, and fish. Comparisons with trail cameras are made where relevant, and the text is enriched with recorded footage, diagrams, and links to instructional videos. Case studies highlight real-world applications of CCTV in wildlife monitoring, making this resource invaluable for amateur naturalists, ecological consultants, and research scientists alike. By bridging the gap between professional techniques and amateur interest, CCTV for Wildlife Monitoring opens up new possibilities for wildlife observation.

This book is a rare combination of two things: it is useful and it is interesting. It helps to open the door to CCTV monitoring for the amateur, an endeavour that will seem intimidating to anyone but an expert. The instructive sections are laid out logically with informative diagrams and photographs to assist you along the way (very useful). Instructions are straightforward and avoid jargon, making this an exceptionally accessible guide.
