Solutions for Non-invasive Animal Monitoring
The non-invasive monitoring of animals is a growing area of interest for researchers and valuable work has already been done towards the improvement of animal welfare. CamNtech has been involved in non-invasive animal monitoring via accelerometers and by wearable ECG monitoring for many years. Ultra-small devices coupled with long recording times reduce the need to disturb the animals unecessarily.
From companion animals such as cats and dogs, to farm animals such as sheep and horses as well as primates and exotic animals such the desert hyrax, CamNtech devices have been deployed to monitor locomotor activity, sleep, circadian patterns and ECG. Small, rugged and waterproof devices are key to monitoring in harsh and upredicatable environments.
Our integrated software packages provide tools for activity, sleep and circadian rhythm analysis in addition to device management.
Our export files are compatible with the popular Actimetrics ClockLab software providing an advanced tool suite for animal circadian biology analysis.

Key Veterinary Devices
Actiwatch Mini
Incredibly small with diameter of 24mm and thickness of just 7.7mm, the Actiwatch Mini offers a collar-worn activity monitoring for animals of all sizes. Providing up to 90 days of continuous recording, disturbance to the animal is minimised. Data are stored to the internal non-volatile memory and downloaded via telemetric data transfer. The Actiwatch software package provides adavanced analysis functions for sleep, circadian rhythm and physical activity. Epoch by epoch data may be exported in .csv format for analysis in third party applications if required.
