Keeping track of tigers in conservative areas is important for wildlife conservation. This is usually done by setting trail cameras in certain areas to capture pictures of tigers. Tiger identification needs images of a whole tiger stripe pattern. Therefore, it is preferred to use more than one camera to take pictures in each area. This solution still has a limitation in that each camera cannot take pictures of a tiger at the same time,
which causes a problem when matching a tiger with the database. This affects the correctness of estimating the tiger population. This project introduces a system that triggers every camera in the same area to take photos simultaneously. The cameras are controlled and communicating with one another through IEEE802.15.4 wireless
technology. Pictures are transferred to a storage located in a safe place using IEEE802.11 technology. Experimental results in a laboratory show that by installing two cameras opposite each other, an object moving past one of the cameras will be taken by both cameras at the same time. Furthermore, the system can successfully transfer the photos from the cameras to a selected device. The next phase is to install and test the system in a tiger research area with the cooperation of the wildlife research station at Khao Nang Rum in order to improve and make the system ready for real deployment.
