eMammal provides some basic data download, analysis, and visualization functions on our website. This should be useful for initial exploration of your data, and comparison between sites. We plan to continually add new analyses to our page and welcome collaborators to write scripts in program R to improve on this functionality.
The Smithsonian is now using the Wildlife Insights repository for all camera trap data management and storage.
This program automatically groups bursts of photos into sequences if they are <1 min apart, making it easy to look through a data card full of images. Camera trappers use this software to examine each sequence and tag which species, and how many individuals, are found.
Camera traps capture some amazing pictures of animals as they walk by and trigger the motion sensor. As camera trappers review these pictures we 'favorite' the best ones and make them available for the world to see through eMammal. Enjoy browsing through these best animal selfies at this link. Photos available past the embargo are accessible through the Data Download page.
There are a lot of exciting discoveries to be made from analyzing camera trap data. As more and more data accumulate in eMammal, there are more and more exciting comparisons and opportunities to learn new things about animals just by examining the data in a new way. We provide some basic data analysis tools so that anyone can explore camera trap data with a few clicks. Check out our data analysis pages here, and come back regularly as new data sets and analysis tools will continually add to the scientific pot

If you are a scientist or land manager interested in using camera traps to describe or monitor wildlife eMammal can help you manage your data and volunteers/field assistants. We would create a new project in eMammal, which you would manage. We will train you in how to use the website but you will be responsible for running the project, including managing volunteers and reviewing all images.
