Protecting an endangered rare grape species with video technologies

Customer: Beijing Songshan National Nature Reserve

Location: Beijing, China

Industry: Nature conservation organization

To better understand the growth of Baihuashan grapevine, an extremely rare grape variety, scientists at Beijing Songshan National Nature Reserve deployed a solar-powered camera to monitor the grapevines.

The solar-powered camera automatically takes snapshots at regular intervals, aside from video recording, helping caretakers to learn the status of the seedlings in the different stages of their lives. These images and video footage help staff understand the growth of the grapes, assisting in the study of this species, and facilitating their protection and cultivation work.

Aside from this, Hikvision have developed a number of technologies and solutions excelling at plant monitoring, specific plant phenological identification, and life cycle observation with time-lapse video. These technologies play an effective role in supporting the study, protection, and artificial cultivation of rare plants. In addition, researchers are able to see and compare the changes between different growth stages of rare plants effectively, follow their phenological changes, and raise a flag when the change is material.
