Cameras Trap for Bats

{"id":6552401739879,"title":"Bat Roost Survey Camera Bracket or Stand","handle":"bat-roost-survey-kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a camera trap system for remote surveys for bat presence, intended to be used to monitor bat houses. Note due to fast changing advances in trail cameras, the camera must be sourced separately. Certain trail cameras will trigger on the heat of an animal investigating the bat house. The camera is particularly effective when a bat makes multiple passes before entering a roosts, such as is typical in the morning hours. The first bat pass will sometimes activate the camera, but will usually be too fast to be recorded. Usually within ~15 seconds the bat returns and will be recorded.

The height is required to prevent unnecessary upward tilt of the camera, which will result with dew collecting on the lens and producing undesirable \"foggy\" video. The horizontal distance has been shown in BCM tests to produce reliable triggers on certain trail cameras from small bats. A small stepladder or 3 step stool will be helpful for installing and servicing. The bracket arms can be unscrewed to help retrieve the camera or for transport if desired. A full size stepladder and an assistant may be helpful to initially frame the camera. The mounting bracket will clamp to any square or rectangular post of any size. The clamp may attach to round posts up to 2'' in diameter, but may spin\/move on the post in windy conditions. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis bracket might be a deterrent to vandals, who might otherwise need a ladder to fool with your survey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 2; Camera Stand.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a black aluminum telescopic 5- section extension stand that extends to 15'.

The mount at the top has a standard 1\/4-20 camera thread stud and also 3\/8. A swivel adapter allows the camera be adjusted. 4- Sandbags are included for stability (source sand or other material locally). The advantage of this method is that it may be used for other sorts of surveys as the independent stand can be placed anywhere relatively flat and staked or sandbagged down. The camera is easier to retrieve\/setup and no ladder is necessary.
