Cat Tien Live Safari Cam 001

Welcome to a window into the heart of Vietnam’s wilderness. Our live camera, stationed deep within the protected zones of Cat Tien National Park, offers a 24/7 unedited look at life in the jungle.

To ensure the safety of our wildlife and prevent interference with delicate habitats, the exact coordinates of this camera remain confidential. However, through this lens, you can witness the secret lives of rare birds and mammals as they roam freely.

This isn't just a video feed. We plan to integrate Katien AI Sentinel, a real-time smart monitoring system powered by high-precision cameras, a dedicated AI server, and tailor-made algorithms designed to protect and study the biodiversity of Cat Tien National Park, identifying wildlife in real-time to help researchers track biodiversity while ensuring our guests never miss a moment of nature. As you watch, the AI labels the animals and birds it spots, contributing to a continuous analytical report on the biodiversity of this specific corridor.

From dedicated ranger patrols and researchers to the rare glimpse of an elusive predator, you are seeing the park exactly as it is - wild and protected.

The data captured at this timestamp is vital for several project goals:

• Biodiversity documentation: Confirming the presence of multiple individuals at once helps refine local population density estimates.
• Habitat health: Consistent foraging activity suggests that the current land management practices are successfully supporting primary consumers.
• Technological success: The clarity of the infrared night vision at midnight validates the continued use of this specific camera model for high-resolution nocturnal data collection.

Wildlife Activity Monitoring Report

1. Barking Deer (Muntjacs)

CAM001 | Date: January 12, 2026 | Timestamp: 00:21:42 – 00:21:48 (GMT+7)

During the monitoring period, CAM001 recorded a significant gathering of barking deer. The footage confirms a high level of site utilization by a social group, providing data on herd density and nocturnal foraging patterns.

• Species identification: A group of at least 5 deer was visible within the frame.
• Environmental context: The presence of a larger group (5+ individuals) at this specific time suggests that this location is a preferred nocturnal feeding ground, likely due to low human disturbance and high-quality forage.

Behavioral analysis:

• Foraging: The primary activity observed was active grazing/browsing. The subjects appear healthy and are utilizing the ground-level vegetation.
• Vigilance: While foraging, individuals exhibited typical "stop-and-scan" behaviors, indicating a healthy level of environmental awareness.

2. Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus)

CAM001 | Date: January 12, 2026 | Timestamp: 06:35:51 – 06:36:07 (GMT+7)

The most prominent activity in the video involves a group of Green Peafowl. Notice the distinctive upright crest on their heads and the vibrant green-gold scales on their necks. Unlike the common Blue Peafowl, both males and females of this species have green scaly necks. This species is Endangered. Cat Tien is one of the last strongholds for the Green Peafowl in Vietnam.

• Species identification: A group of at least 5 peafowl was visible within the frame.

Behavior:

• Foraging/drinking: The birds are gathered around the edge of the muddy waterhole. This is typical behavior during the dry season (November–April) in Cat Tien, as water sources become scarce.
• Movement: At 06:36:00, a large male moves across the center of the frame, showing its long tail coverts.

Besides green peafowl, other bird species were also recorded.

• Waterbirds: In the background (right side of the waterhole), a tall, white bird can be seen momentarily. Based on the park's common residents, this is likely a Little Egret or an Intermediate Egret, often found stalking small fish or amphibians in these shallow pools.
• Small birds: Several small, dark shapes move quickly in the grass around the peafowl; these are likely Red-wattled Lapwings or Coucals, which are frequent visitors to the park's open grasslands and wetlands.

This footage is a great example of the park's "dry season" ecology. Since natural water sources in the forest dry up, these permanent or semi-permanent waterholes become critical "hubs" for wildlife.
