BEECAM – Smart camera for biodiversity research and precision agriculture
BEECAM, designed by ADVANSEE, is a standalone high-definition camera designed for studying functional biodiversity, crop monitoring, and precision agriculture. Thanks to its unique motion detection system that does not emit a thermal signature, it allows for remote observation of the behavior of insects, birds, and other animals, even the most elusive ones. Designed for researchers and experimenters, BEECAM helps map population activity within plots to better understand their movements and support crop protection as well as pollinator monitoring.

Related scientific software
Agathe
Software that uses video captured by the BEECAM camera to count insects passing through a virtual area of interest. The insects’ trajectories are visualized, and the number of entries and exits are recorded in files that are then used to track insect population dynamics over time.
Beecount
This software was developed to compare the number of individuals crossing virtual lines drawn in a video over a given period. The best example involves a beehive, where it counts the number of bees leaving and returning. Another interesting application is automating the study of thrips behavior in response to essential oils in a laboratory setting.
Prawntracker
Software developed to track the movements of marine animals in a tank. A BEECAM camera is positioned above the tank. It records the animals’ movements. The captured videos are analyzed. Their paths are plotted, and statistics are generated.
