OSPREY CAMERA PROJECT
Before you read further, just look at the Osprey(s) LIVE(2 eggs have been laid) and you will be convinced this is the best wildlife observation camera on the market (remember this is over Cellular and they are also recording in HD locally)
JES was contacted by the The Friends of Island Beach State Park in order to design a Solar powered High resolution Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera observation system to focus on an Osprey nest that is about 16 feet across. One of the desired requirements was being able to observe the birds nesting at night.
JES designed the following system: At the customers request we used Axis Communications P5534E camera. The camera works good in low light, but we decided to use an Infrared Illuminator with a spread of 30 degrees at 66 feet. We powered the system with two solar panels and two type 24 batteries. Secondly we are using a MPPT Solar controller to maximize the charging time. Finally we used the JES high speed wireless camera bridge to bring the 720P at 30fps video to the parks home base. The entire system is DC powered without inversion. When it comes online it is designed to run 24/7/365. Down to -20C -4 F.
'My students have been waiting anxiously for their arrival. We've been checking the feed everyday. We were watching live in the classroom when the second bird flew in. My kids went crazy!! Great job FOIBSP! '

See the Osprey (We have eggs on the nest).
Note: The images of the Osprey Nest on the net are very low resloution, as the image is being broadcast over cellular link; however at the visitors center they are getting full 30fps 720P video over JES HD wireless and are pleased beyond their expectations. Do not forget to check out nest at night.
We can design all types of systems and offer many types of cameras as well as multiple cameras, to suit your requirements and budgets. Please call at 305-597-3980 or e-mail. Camera system will come on line in March, this is an all volunteer charity. More pictures to come.
