Cameras

Wildlife Insights Getting Started Guide

Cameras

A camera is the physical device that is set out to capture images. Since organizations may use the same cameras across several different projects, camera details are managed at the Organization Details page. This means that a camera created within an organization can be connected to any deployment in any project in that organization.

Create a camera during image upload

Cameras can be created when you upload images into Wildlife Insights. On the upload screen, you’ll be prompted to choose a project to upload the images to. If you would like to create a new camera:

  • Select the green New deployment button.
  • As you fill out details to create a New deployment, you’ll see a field for Camera. Click New Camera to create a new camera or select an existing camera from the dropdown list. 
  • If you’re creating a new camera, enter the camera name and continue filling out the rest of the deployment information. If you’d like to add more camera details, you can do so in the Organization Details page.

Create a camera in Organization Details

You can also create a camera before you begin uploading images. To create a camera in Organization Details: 

  • Navigate to Organization Details tab
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page
  • You’ll find a table of Cameras.
  • Click on the green New camera button 
  • Enter fields required
  • Click the white Create button to create a new camera

Edit an existing camera

To edit an existing camera, click the green Edit button to the right of any camera record. 

Once your edits have been made, click on Save Changes to save your edits.

Search for a camera

Search for a camera by name by typing in criteria in the search box in the right hand corner of the camera table.

You’ll see the number of results that match the search/filter criteria appear next to the New Camera button.

Sort cameras

There are a variety of ways to help you sort and filter your cameras. Simply click on the arrow next to a column header to sort by that column.

You can sort by: 

  • Name
  • Model
  • Serial number
  • Purchase date

The column that is being used to sort cameras will display a green arrow next to the column header. You can sort by ascending or descending criteria.
