Wildlife Camera Trap Kit v31
Wildlife Camera Trap Kit v31 — Raspberry Pi 5 Object Tracking with Pan-Tilt Vision
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Set up an autonomous camera rig that locks onto moving wildlife and keeps the animal perfectly framed. Using a Raspberry Pi 5 running OpenCV, the kit’s pan-tilt head responds in real time, eliminating the need for fixed-position trail cams and missed shots.
What You'll Build
You will build a weather-ready camera trap that sits in the bush or your backyard, detects motion through the Pi Camera Module 3, and physically tracks the subject with two SG90 servos. The pan-tilt motion centres the animal in every frame, while 4K video streams to onboard NVMe storage. It’s a complete wildlife monitoring station you can deploy for extended sessions, powered by a single USB-C connection.
What You'll Learn
- Real-time object detection and tracking with OpenCV on Raspberry Pi 5
- Servo motor control using GPIO PWM signals and pan-tilt kinematics
- Integrating the Pi Camera Module 3 and handling high-resolution video streams
- Running a full computer vision pipeline on edge hardware with NVMe SSD acceleration

Who This Kit Is For
This intermediate kit is designed for B.Tech ECE/CS students, wildlife researchers, and hobbyists who want to move beyond static trail cameras. Whether you’re working on a Smart India Hackathon project, a final-year animal tracking thesis, or simply documenting backyard visitors, the pre-configured OpenCV stack and pan-tilt hardware give you a professional-grade start.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to start a chat with the AI companion trained on the Wildlife Camera Trap Kit. It will walk you through each step, and you can also reach our engineers on WhatsApp for same-day help.
Does this kit require any soldering?
No soldering is needed. All connections use jumper wires between the Pi GPIO and servos, and the camera attaches via the ribbon cable slot. Everything is plug-and-play.
Can I record video at night?
The Pi Camera Module 3 includes autofocus and can capture in low light, but for true night vision you would need to add an IR-capable camera (not included). The provided software is OpenCV-based and can apply basic contrast enhancement for twilight conditions.
What software comes with the kit?
You get a pre-loaded SD card image with Raspberry Pi OS, OpenCV, and a custom Python tracking script that controls the pan-tilt servos based on object detection. No manual library installation required.
Wildlife — OpenCV-based object tracking on Pi 5 controls two servos to keep a target centred in frame — pan-tilt vision tracking.
