Using Raspberry Pi and iOS App To Catch Rhino Poachers

[wraggster]

Cambridge Consultants has rigged together about a hundred motion-triggered cameras (http://www.boston.com/business/innovation/blogs/inside-the-hive/2013/09/06/cambridge-consultants-works-project-designed-catch-rhino-poachers/m2a7QUsZ6kTcWndilf00rK/blog.html) around Kenyan watering holes to help catch and dissuade elephant poachers. 'The challenge was to create a remote monitoring system that was robust enough to withstand extreme weather conditions and animal attacks and could be easily hidden in any surroundings – all within the available budget,' according to one of the projects leads. And to help make sure all those cameras are being monitored, the team has released an iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/instant-wild/id464812695?mt=8) that lets users review, tag, and flag images, tracking what kinds of animals pass by and keeping an eye open for any human predators on the prowl.
