Camera trap dataset from Agbogon Community Biological Reserve (ACBR), Benin

Description

A curated camera trap dataset from the Agonve Community Wetland Reserve in West Africa, adapted from Gandaho et al. (2026). The dataset contains wildlife camera trap observations and associated deployment metadata.

Format

A named list with two tibbles:

acbr_data

Camera trap observations.

deployment

Deployment metadata.

Details

The object is provided as a named list with two elements:

acbr_data

A tibble containing camera trap observations.

Variables include:

image

Image file name.

deployment

Deployment identifier.

cam

Camera station identifier.

model

Camera model (RD1003L or TC302445).

dates

Observation date.

times

Observation time.

species

Recorded species name.

count

Number of individuals detected.

datetime

Combined date-time in POSIX format.

deployment

A tibble containing deployment-level metadata.

Variables include:

deployment

Deployment identifier.

cam

Camera station identifier.

model

Camera model.

start

Deployment start date-time.

end

Deployment end date-time.

radius

Camera detection radius (meters).

angle

Camera detection angle (degrees).

area

Estimated detection area (square meters).

The deployment table was reconstructed from the observation data using the first and last timestamps recorded for each deployment.
