Camera traps are one of the most popular wildlife monitoring and  research tools. They record spectacular wildlife images, such as this  leopard, though not always. Many users are familiar with finding animal  tracks in front of their cameras, but there are no matching images.  Since 2016, ORC has been testing the performance of different wildlife  cameras and we now expanded these experiments to include the newest  models. In the last few weeks, we conducted over 3,000 test walks in  front of 16 cameras to find out more about the factors that influence  their performance.
