We are exploring a variety of technologies for delivering video directly from robotically controlled video cameras situated at the James Reserve. Throughout the year our cameras will focus on wildlife observations at feeding stations, in artificial roosting and nesting boxes, and in their natural habitats. Although our cameras are designed for specific scientific and educational uses, we are make them available to the general public as a part of our educational outreach. The James Reserve is a natural ecological reserve and biological field station dedicated to providing a permanently protected location for educational and scientific purposes. Please take some time to explore our web site, and contact us if you have any questions.

To access any one of the cameras click on the thumbnail images. Thumbnail links will take you to an enlarged window with a live image displaying the current time and date. Our system uses java to refresh an image every 6 seconds (if you are on a fast network) and about once every 30 seconds if you are using a dial-up connection. Make sure that java is turned on in your browser. We have tested this using Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator using Macs and PC's.
