Outdoor wildlife motion triggered camera

Abstract

Animal extinction means there is no more individual of that species alive in the world. The animal extinction problem happen all around the world even in Malaysia. World Bank data shows that, Malaysia record 70 of the 336 species of mammals are threatened in 2014 and make it the seventh highest in the world in this category. One of the cause of wildlife extinction is destruction of their natural habitat. This project Outdoor Wildlife Motion Triggered Camera is develop to help biologist monitor and study about the wildlife behavior and natural habitat so they can control the wildlife extinction. This project are using 8051 microcontroller and interfacing with 3 parts that is sensor, camera and SD card breakout board. The sensor detect the presence of wildlife and triggered the camera to capture the scene and automatically save the shot taken into external SD card. C programming language are written into 8051 microcontroller in order to operate the sensor, camera and external SD card.
