Details

This is a general example of how information about camera trap stations are arranged in camtrapR. It contains setup and retrieval dates and coordinates. If more than 1 camera was set up at a station (e.g. 2 cameras facing each other), a camera ID column must be added, with camera-specific information instead of station-specific information. If cameras malfunctioned repeatedly, additional pairs of problem columns can be added, e.g. "Problem2_from" and "Problem2_to" etc.. The variables are as follows:
  • Station. Camera trap station ID
  • utm_y. y coordinate of station (northing)
  • utm_x. x coordinate of station (easting)
  • Setup_date. camera trap setup date
  • Retrieval_date. camera trap retrieval date
  • Problem1_from. first day of camera malfunction
  • Problem1_to. last day of camera malfunction
