The Trail Camera Survey Plan

The FeetFeat plan for a trail camera survey: how many cameras, where, for how long, and how to read what they catch

The Trail Camera Spacing Calculator on this site gives the rule surveys use: cameras no farther apart than the square root of the target animal's home range. A survey also needs to know how many cameras that means for your land, what to do with fewer cameras than places, how long to leave them, and how to turn photos into a number you can compare. The Trail Camera Survey Plan does that. Part 1 sets one question, sizes the grid (and says plainly when land smaller than one home range should be surveyed by features instead), rotates cameras so every cell gets the same nights, places each camera, sets the calendar, and reads results as independent detections per 100 camera-nights. Part 2 is an eight-week field plan with checks and tallies. Includes a map sheet, camera log, detection tally and a track-casting card. Detection rates are an index, not a headcount; follow local rules on cameras, bait and seasons. With your purchase comes a personalised sheet with cells and rotation times for your target species across common property sizes.
