Monitoring penguins

Animals identified by the DOC AI Cam

The thermal cameras can be used to monitor penguin numbers and behaviour. The same camera can be used to monitor any predators

Here's an example of a thermal video of a penguin coming ashore at Mamaku Point in Rakiura. The Penguin was automatically identified by the thermal camera.

These cameras are a great way to understand where penguins are nesting, what their numbers are and creates some unique videos for your community.
