If you're an Apple iPhone or Mac user, and you store trail cam photos within the native Photos app, you can easily upload photos from the app to DeerLab.

Moving Photos from your Laptop or Desktop to DeerLab

If you drag and drop photos from the Mac Photos app to DeerLab, the timestamp will not automatically go over. To get around this, you need to export your photos from the Photos app. This video walks you through the process.

Important Export Step

Please note when exporting photos from the Photos App ( File > Export ) you will need to make sure you select the "Export Unmodified Original" options so that DeerLab can use the timestamps that are embedded within the photos. If you just select "Export", the timestamp will be missing when uploaded to DeerLab.

Here's the Export option you need to select.
