Configure camera settings in Buckeye Multibase SE

Be sure to log into the Buckeye MultiBase SE app, check the composition of the images (what’s in frame), check the exposure at night (if the IR flash is too bright, you can reduce the camera’s exposure with a secret code in Text box 2 as described here, and any other settings that you want to adjust. Also please set the coordinates that you recorded in the field on the camera!

Register camera to Animl

In addition to registering the physical camera to the local Buckeye network (which allows the Base Station to recognize and communicate with the physical cameras), in order to route the camera’s images into the correct Animl Project, you also need to register every new camera’s serial number with your Project, and create a deployment record for the new Deployment.

• Register Camera: documentation on registering an new camera can be found here.

• Create Deployment: Once you’ve registered a new camera, you will also likely want to create a new Deployment record for it. For more information on Deployments and guidance on how to create one in Animl, view the documentation here.

Update installation notes/maintenance logs/KML files /photo archive

This will depend on your organization’s system for inventory tracking, but we highly recommend that you maintain some record keeping system for tracking what's out in the field.
