Wildlife officers use remote HD cameras — HogWatch — to conserve habitat, protect agricultural crops and save taxpayers money.
TheTennessee Wildlife Resources Agency(TWRA) turned to innovative technology to assist landowners with controlling wild hogs — a costly nuisance for state residents and a danger to the environment. Frequent trap visits by wildlife officers to monitor hog activity is the most costly phase of the TWRA's control efforts. Live streaming video enables wildlife officers to watch hogs enter the trap and release the trap door remotely.
