The Game Changer
The collaboration between Cellular Data So- lutions, a Dahua Technology dealer partner, and Bull Creek Outdoors who provides their innovative trapping system, called Game Changer with Dahua Technology’s 2MP Network Cameras produced an innovative, industry-changing solution.
“Our solution using Dahua’s 2MP IR fixed mini-dome cameras,”president of Cel- lular Data Solutions Chuck Denton said. “And the end users internet device (phone, laptop and tablet) has revolutionized trap- ping of these invasive species.”
The customers for these types of traps are landowners, federal and state agencies, USDA, and local fish and game agencies or services in each state affected by the epidem- ic. The system is striving to become the No. 1 trap system on the market.
When hog traps are set up in areas where feral hogs are active, Dahua IR Fixed Mini Dome Network Cameras are mounted to the corral trap or mounted on a nearby tree limb. If a suitable tree is not nearby, they can be mounted on a fence post or structure that of- fers clear visibility. The data from the camera is transmitted in real time using the cellular network from Cellular Data Solutions to property owners.
Updates come through text messages and e-mails, with an immediate alert when a hog has entered the trap. When notified, the end user can view a live video of the trap to en- sure that the hog is completely inside. The end user, when satisfied with the number of feral hogs in the trap can remotely close the trap in real time from any internet-connected device using Dahua’s IVS solution.
Denton chose the IR Fixed Mini Dome Network Camera for features such as Smart IR technology, Edge analytics with tripwire and object detention features, excellent im- age quality, and intelligent and efficient event reminders. The cameras are also weather- proof and vandal-proof.
Featuring Dahua’s Starlight Technol- ogy, the camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. Its low-light performance delivers usable video with mini- mal ambient light. Even in extreme low-light conditions, Starlight Technology is capable of providing color images in near complete darkness, such as those often found on re- mote farms and properties, and game and fish reserves.
Trapping the Hogs
The trapping of these feral hogs has been transformed with the Bull Creek corral traps
fitted with Dahua cameras.
“Trappers historically set-up two or more
homemade pens to trap hogs, now with Bull Creek’s mobile corral traps and Dahua cam- eras the trappers can set-up our trap in 20 minutes or less and can trap three times as many hogs with fewer traps.” said Dennis Bayles of Bull Creek. “By having the capa- bility of triggering the trap remotely through your cell phone or other internet enabled device, the trapper can leave the corral open for 24 to 48 hours to ensure all of the herd (sounder) is captured.”
Denton says he has been delighted with the cameras, especially with the Advanced Intelligent Functions that the camera pro- vides, including Tripwire and Intrusion fea- tures. This gives trappers clear images inside and outside the corral trap.
“Hogs are intelligent and if the traps are closed too soon capturing the balance of the herd becomes more difficult and costly for the trappers,” Bayles said.
“These are very resilient cameras. The whole corral trapping system can be bro- ken down and reset over and over again in a two week period of trapping,” said Denton. “Dahua’s surveillance solution assists Bull Creek, the trappers, property owners and government agencies in combatting a serious environmental issue. The security industry needs to continue to think outside the box, to help find ways for our technology to assist in all aspects of life and wildlife to the better- ment of our ecosystem.”
