Field notes
The project lists water resistance, battery life, and recording reliability as upcoming outdoor-test criteria. It says Peruvian biologists are giving practical feedback, while most development and testing will happen in Dallas. The page also names wildlife, disturbance, illegal mining and logging, and changes in the soundscape among the monitoring interests that prompted the camera work.
