More and more camera trap manufacturers are creating cellular cameras so it's worth continuing to expand the repertoire of what cameras we can support. As a refresher, in order to (easily) ingest an image from a cell camera, we need:

  1. the camera to send automated emails when images are taken
  2. for those emails to contain fairly large (ideally >=1280px wide) versions of the images, either in the body of the email or as attachments
  3. for there to be some unique identifier for the camera itself included in either the email or the images' EXIF data

If a camera maker doesn't provide automated emails with these specs, it's also worth asking if their developers would be willing to work with us to create an integration ideally by posting new images to an API endpoint we set up for them.
