Sampling comments: "From January 2015 to December 2017, 130 infrared cameras (model Ltl-6210MC) were deployed on 57 out of 61 patrol sample lines in the area according to the division of the reserve, combined with the topography and geomorphological features"
"The camera layout focuses on the distribution characteristics of giant pandas and takes into account the coverage of the whole territory"
Cameras were "mainly installed on living tree trunks near animal passages and ponds, and the installation height was 50-120 cm"
"At least 2 infrared cameras were installed on each sample line with a distance of more than 500 m"
"The infrared cameras ... were set to first take 3 pictures in a row, then take a 15-20 s video" and were operated "24 hours a day"
