Abstract
The availability of affordable ‘recreational’

camera traps has dramatically increased over the last

decade. We present survey results which show that many

conservation practitioners use cheaper ‘recreational’ units

for research rather than more expensive ‘professional’

equipment. We present our perspective of using two popular

models of ‘recreational’ camera trap for ecological fieldbased

studies. The models used (for[2 years) presented us

with a range of practical problems at all stages of their use

including deployment, operation, and data management,

which collectively crippled data collection and limited

opportunities for quantification of key issues arising. Our

experiences demonstrate that prospective users need to have

a sufficient understanding of the limitations camera trap

technology poses, dimensions we communicate here. While

the merits of different camera traps will be study specific,

the performance of more expensive ‘professional’ models

may prove more cost-effective in the long-term when using

camera traps for research.
