    Animal-borne video and environmental collection systems (AVEDs) are powerful tools for researching the behaviour of elusive animals, such as brown bears (Ursus arctos), which allows scientists to ... safely record footage from the perspective of an animal. This study aimed to assess some merits and flaws associated with AVEDs by analysing 5177 video clips recorded with a GPS camera collar, between 03:00 % 06:30 and 18:00 % 21:00 each day, which was attached to a male brown bear on Javorniki in Slovenia. Video clips were categorised into predefined behaviour, food and habitat categories. The most frequently observed behaviour, food and habitat was %foraging% (45% of clips), %insects% (41% of clips) and %forest% (63% of clips). Our findings generally agreed with those of similar studies; however, due to the recording periods being restricted to dusk and dawn, our results did not represent the typical daily behaviour of bears. We concluded that, in its present state, the limitations facing this method make it more suitable for acquiring qualitative data rather than hard quantitative data. Until cameras can sustain continuous operation over longer periods of time and allow for night-time recording, AVEDs should be used as a source of qualitative data to accompany traditional methods of monitoring and to provide a visual channel between the scientific community and the public.
