Product details

The common animal behavior research equipment is mainly divided into electronic behavior research equipment and video behavior research equipment according to their structure. The main difference is that electronic animal behavior research equipment determines animal activities based on photoelectric sensing devices, travel switches, etc. The video based animal behavior research equipment captures the activity trajectory of animals through videos. Comparatively speaking, video based animal behavior research equipment has inherent advantages: simple structure, reliable function, high accuracy, and strong software universality (one software can be used for various behavioral studies, such as water maze experiments or mining experiments).

System structure of video based animal behavior research equipment
A complete animal behavior research equipment system generally consists of video capture hardware (camera), animal behavior research video tracking software, and experimental environment hardware (such as water maze sinks, open field test chambers). The camera is installed above the animal activity area, which is a set of various shapes such as circles, rectangles, etc. based on the hardware shape of the animal experiment captured by the experimenters. The captured animal activity images are transmitted to the analysis computer, which digitizes the image signals at a speed of 30 frames per second, recording the position, speed, dwell time, motion trajectory, motion distance, and other parameters of interest to researchers of one or more animals in one or more areas at different times. The software automatically classifies and summarizes these parameters according to the researchers' design to obtain a report on animal behavior and activity.

Animal behavior research equipment video tracking software
Almost all behavioral experiments can be conducted with just one set of software. The animal behavior research equipment analysis software can be used for various maze experiments such as Morris water maze, T-maze, Y-maze, radiation maze (eight arm maze), elevated cross maze, elevated circular maze, Barnes maze, and behavior change analysis of damaged animals. This system can record animal activity trajectories and raw activity videos, while obtaining real-time changes in animal movement trajectories and animal activity forms (diet, sleep, movement, chasing, socializing, etc.) data.
1) Animal behavior analysis software has the widest range of applications and can support almost all behavioral experiments
2) Supports up to 16 identical or different experiments simultaneously
3) It is possible to manually customize the recording of special events through hotkeys, such as grooming and platform actions
4) You can define relevant rules on your own to achieve intelligent automatic start and end of experiments
5) Support advanced algorithms such as "three-point recognition" (head, center of gravity, tail) and experimental animal trajectory prediction
6) The software operation process is simple and user-friendly, with detailed explanations for each step and intelligent verification prompts
7) The software has complete indicators and parameters, covering almost all behavioral experimental indicators
8) The software provides comprehensive extension services and can even export experimental reports (papers) that meet the requirements with just one click
9) Video playback or trajectory animation playback can be performed for each experiment to understand the details of the experiment
10) The software comes with powerful analysis capabilities: it can compare the results of each animal and also compare the results of each group
11) With comprehensive reporting and analysis functions, it comes with over 100 types of statistical tests
12) Multiple ways to view results: can be represented in various forms such as text, charts, animations, etc
13) The results can be saved in various forms and further analyzed and processed using third-party software such as SPSS, EXCEL, SYSTAT, etc
14) The software has a unique built-in "operation warning" prompt, which automatically prompts when users make mistakes, which is very helpful for domestic users when using imported software
15) The animal behavior research equipment analysis system can be paired with USB interface cameras from other manufacturers on the market, and the configuration is very flexible.
