Effective remote monitoring and surveillance using drones are frequently impeded by severe environmental and thermal clutter, dynamic vegetation, target camouflage, and system latency. Drawing inspiration from the hunting strategies of birds of prey that hover and stabilize their vision to isolate subtle ground motion, we introduce trACT (temporal revelation Airborne Camera Trap), a lightweight, real-time aerial robotics framework designed for autonomous consumer drones. The system integrates Temporal Max Pooling (TMP), a low-level signal processing method that transforms imperceptible movement across a rolling integration window into robust value and time encodings, with self-supervised motion anomaly detection to isolate target motion from background environmental motion caused by wind gusts and drone drift. To overcome mechanical and processing delays, trACT combines motion prediction with automated gimbal-stabilized optical zoom verification and equitable multi-target verification balancing. Extensive real-world field experiments in densely forested wildlife habitats and surveillance scenarios demonstrate that trACT successfully bridges the gap between wide-area aerial monitoring and precise, autonomous target verification under challenging operational conditions.
