Abstract
Time series of images of ecological systems and organisms are an important research asset for ecologists. Here we outline a system that manages over a million images collected since 2002 from a set of networked cameras. The system incorporates tools for making the images available to researchers, and is built on top of a MySQL database and associated tools.
