Developing an Underwater Game Camera

POSTER

Abstract

The goal of this project was to create an underwater game camera that could track and observe fish and other aquatic creatures in their natural habitat. Such a device would be able to monitor the behavior of wildlife over a period of several days without them being disturbed by the presence of divers. A variety of electronic components are need to create a reliable game camera and we have investigated a number of possible choices. Our final design is rugged, inexpensive and can take several high quality pictures a minute. Our poster will describe the details of this design and our plans to deploy this game camera.

*Funding for this project came from Southwestern University’s SCOPE program and its donors.
