EntoCam : Insect & Moth Monitoring Camera for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity Research

Revolutionizing Moth and Insect Surveillance for Biodiversity, Agriculture, and Research

EntoCam is a compact, rugged, field-ready automated moth and insect monitoring system designed for high-precision data collection. Whether you’re tracking Lepidoptera populations, surveying pest species, or studying pollinator behavior, EntoCam provides consistent, high-resolution imaging in both remote and controlled environments.

With its 8 MP Sony Starvis sensor and IP66-rated casing, EntoCam supports long-term deployment with minimal maintenance. Its intuitive interface and affordable price make it ideal for deploying multiple units in the field, enabling scalable and cost-effective moth camera trap applications.

Bridging the Data Gap in Lepidoptera & Insect Research

As moth and insect populations decline globally, understanding their dynamics is critical to preserving ecosystems and food systems. EntoCam allows researchers to conduct Lepidoptera monitoring across multiple sites and timeframes, offering insights into moth behavior, population shifts, and ecological health.

Deploying multiple EntoCam units expands spatial coverage, enabling continuous and automated data collection without manual observation or invasive methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the EntoCam a superior autonomous insect monitoring system?

The EntoCam is considered a good AMI system due to a combination of features that make it effective and user-friendly for researchers, conservationists, and agricultural professionals. Key features include: high-resolution imaging, robustness, portability, and affordability.

Can I pair the EntoCam with a solar panel?

The EntoCam can be paired with any 12V solar panel to extend the battery lifetime with the system.

 
Why don’t you provide the battery with the EntoCam? Which battery should I use with it?

We are not providing the battery with the EntoCam because the capacity of the battery depends on the project, and it is often easier to find a battery on-site than to travel with or ship one.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is available to download on our website.
