deleting duplicate camera records

[María José Andrade]

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue in Wildlife Insights related to deleting duplicate camera records, and I wanted to check if anyone has experienced something similar.

I initially registered some cameras incorrectly (using deployment names instead of serial numbers), so I’m now cleaning that up. In the process, I ended up with duplicate camera entries (same serial number). I reassigned the deployments to a single correct camera record (the one with “-CAM” in the name).

However, I’ve noticed that:

• Some duplicate camera records can be deleted without any problem
• Others cannot be deleted, and I get the message:
  “This Device is associated with a Deployment. If you'd like to delete this Device, please first delete the associated Deployment.”

This confuses me because I already moved the deployments I could find to the correct camera. So I’m wondering:

• Is it possible that there are still hidden or older deployments associated with those camera records?
• Is there a way to identify all deployments linked to a specific camera?
• Or could this be related to something else (e.g., metadata or previous associations)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
