Consultancy

Wildlife monitoring, from plan to field

Beyond software, we help organizations design and run camera-trap programs — with deep experience in wildlife data management, acquisition, camera technology, and practical field deployment.

Focus areas

How we support your program

Three pillars of consultancy — data, hardware, and field work.

Data management

Structure, quality, ownership, and workflows so footage becomes reliable wildlife data — not a hard drive full of files.

Camera technology

We know trail cameras, cellular models, FTPS (preferred) / FTP upload, and how to match hardware to terrain, budget, and monitoring goals.

Field deployment

We can take over placement, setup, and operational rollout — so your team focuses on science, land, or conservation decisions.

Approach

What we bring

Untamed Data sits at the intersection of wildlife monitoring and data systems. We have practical experience with how camera-trap projects actually run: noisy field conditions, mixed camera brands, incomplete metadata, and the gap between “we have images” and “we have defensible data.”

Consultancy is for organizations that need more than a login — advice, hands-on setup, or full delivery of the monitoring process alongside (or independent of) the Untamed Data platform.

Services

What we can deliver

  • Wildlife data management — design how projects, cameras, detections, and exports are structured; quality control; review workflows; GDPR-aware storage and ownership.
  • Data acquisition strategy — what to capture, where, how often, and with which settings so effort matches your research or management questions.
  • Camera technology & selection — model and brand advice, FTPS/cellular setup, power and connectivity trade-offs, and multi-brand camera options.
  • Camera placement & field deployment — we can plan grids and corridors, place and configure cameras on site, enable automatic upload, and document each location for your team.
  • Program rollout — multi-site or multi-year monitoring: training for staff, standard operating procedures, and handover so the program keeps running without us.
  • Platform & integration advice — when to use cloud vs self-hosted, how to connect existing tools, and how wildlife AI fits a human-reviewed workflow.

Audience

Who this is for

  • Research institutes and universities starting or scaling camera-trap studies
  • Nature reserves, NGOs, and rewilding projects that need operational monitoring
  • Land managers, estates, and agricultural organizations with multi-site cameras
  • Consultancies and integrators who need wildlife-data expertise in a larger project

Process

How we work

Engagements are scoped to your goals — from a short advisory call or site assessment to end-to-end deployment. You can use our platform, your own tools, or a mix.

1

Discovery

Goals, sites, existing cameras, and data requirements.

2

Plan

Hardware, placement, workflows, and platform or self-hosted setup.

3

Field & handover

Deploy, train your team, document SOPs, and hand over a running program.
