# Data Collection Hardware

Fieldworkers can use **tablets or smartphones** to collect data. Depending on the project requirements, the hardware will either be provided by the enumerators themselves or rented out by the fieldwork management team.

Where fieldworkers use their own devices, fieldwork managers must ensure that the camera is working and can take clear photographs and that the phone can capture GPS coordinates. Settings for both can be adjusted by fieldwork managers for optimal results.
