The Technology
The Colorado RattleCam is a unique, custom-built system that incorporates a durable, high-definition camera, equipped with infrared capability for nighttime monitoring of rattlesnakes and other nocturnal species. With its water-proof fiberglass housing, the camera can withstand extreme weather and even includes a wiper and heated lens to remove any rain or ice. To power the rural design and transmit video and data, the camera uses two large solar panels and a high-grade LTE cellular router.
The California RattleCam is a similar custom setup with fewer features and a lower resolution. It does not have night vision, so it only operates during the day.
This all helps us learn about the lives of these snakes!
