Team Unveils Innovative Wildlife Camera Using Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and AI

A creative team, led by Kamil Rocki, has developed an innovative wildlife camera system using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and an AI Camera. The device, housed in a 3D printed case, is designed for automated footage capture in outdoor conditions.

The system's brain is the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, a compact and low-power device offering enhanced processing power compared to its predecessor. It's paired with the Raspberry Pi AI Camera, capable of running neural networks for image classification and similar machine learning tasks.

Power management is handled by a Witty Pi module, which schedules start-ups and shutdowns to optimise battery usage. This ensures the camera only operates when needed, extending battery life. The entire setup is protected in a 3D printed case, making it durable for outdoor use.

Luke, a member of the team, automated the wildlife footage capture process. The camera triggers when it detects motion, capturing high-quality images and videos of wildlife in their natural habitats.

The automated wildlife camera system, developed by Kamil Rocki's team, combines cutting-edge technology with practical design. It's set to revolutionise wildlife observation and research, providing valuable insights into animal behaviour and habitats.
