Abstract

The present disclosure provides an animal trap monitoring system that utilises paired sets of motion or activity sensing units, referred to as trap activation units, in close proximity to an animal trap, and camera units placed close by and in wireless communication with the trap activation units. Upon sensing motion or other indications of animal activity the trap activation sends an alert to its paired camera unit which triggers the capture of image date. The camera unit then uploads this image data and other relevant data to one or more servers hosting an online platform through which a user may access and view the image data.
