Services
Actual specializes in Automated Behavior Recognition and offer a variety of services to help labs ensure they are making best use of the technology to improve data quality and save time.
Automating behaviour analysis experiments avoids significant manual, time consuming work. However capturing video footage to ensure that you can get the resutls you want from your experiment can be difficult.
Key things to consider include cameras, lighting and the overall environment. Our 9 Tips When Filming Lab Animal Experiments gives some guidance on things to watch for when planning and setting up your experiment. The optimum setup for capture ensures the highest value from the data is gathered at the lowest cost both of time and financially.
Free 10-point Validation Check
Our free 10-point validation check ensures so you can feel confident that you're data can be automated reliably for the results you're looking for. Contact us for instructions on how to upload your video and we'll get results back to you in 24 hours*
Lab Setup
Selecting the right software and hardware, and setting it up to record good quality data for automated analysis takes time, and requires a good understanding of the technology.
Our lab set-up service can recommend equipment based on your specific requirements, and install and test it to make sure you're fully up and running as quickly as possible.
Lab Review
If you have existing equipment and tools, and they don't give you the data you need, we can perform a full review of behaviour analysis in your lab. This will give you a plan for improving the efficiency of your lab by ensuring you are making best use of the avaliable technology.
Contract Analysis
Reusing existing video data to identify new insights is potentially a far quicker and cheaper way to achieve results than collecting fresh data. However, significant manual effort is required to analyze existing video footage, often turning it into a slow, tedious task.
With a Contract Analysis Package from Actual our team will work with you to understand your aims before using our unique iBehaveŽ technology to study the footage and identify behaviors. We will deliver a report detailing the results in a fraction of the time it would take to undertake manual analysis.
Training
Our training courses teach best practices in setting-up video capture equipment and software in an easily accessible way. By the end of our courses attendees have a good understanding of how to best record and automate the analysis of animal behaviour, improving data quality and saving time in the lab.
