Illuminator Enables Bird's Eye View of Osprey Nest
When The Friends of Island Beach State Park (FIBSP), N.J., wanted to install a special video surveillance system to monitor osprey nest activity, the project came with multiple challenges. Mains power was not available, so all equipment needed to be powered by renewable energy. Another requirement was to be able to clearly observe the birds nesting at night.
The state park also wanted to transmit live footage of the nest back to its visitor center, so resolution was another issue. Clear, engaging images were needed.
