{camtrapmonitoring} is an R package for camera trap monitoring and estimating 

wildlife density. 

- Candidate camera trap locations are sampled in a region of interest

- Spatial layers are used to evaluate characteristics and deployment 

feasibility of locations

- Candidate locations are ordered and selected by user criteria

- Grids are optionally established around focal locations

- (Soon) density estimation methods

## Installation

You can install the development version of camtrapmonitoring with:

```{r, eval = FALSE}

# r-universe

install.packages('camtrapmonitoring', repos = c('https://robitalec.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

# Or {remotes}

remotes::install_github('robitalec/camtrapmonitoring')

```

This package depends on {sf}, {terra}, and {distanceto}.

- [`terra`: Installing](https://rspatial.github.io/terra/#installation)

## Name

This package was previously named {wildcam} but renamed to {camtrapmonitoring} 

to reflect broadened scope of package from planning camera trap surveys to 

community based monitoring of wildlife and density estimation, and to avoid

confusion with other projects using camera traps named wildcam or similar.
