We placed on passive infra-red Reconyx HC500 Hyperfire camera... at each station... Cameras were at least 500m away from each other and were placed at the height of 45-50 cm above the ground. No bait/lure was used... we classified the captures as a notionally independent event only if they were taken at one-hour intervals"
