Working with Lehman Sanctuary, We have installed GREEN feather cameras in strategically placed nest enclosures, providing a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to observe and interact with owls in their natural habitat like never before. These cameras, carefully integrated into the sanctuary's surroundings, offer a 24/7 live stream of owl breeding activities, allowing viewers to witness these majestic birds in their most intimate moments.

Benefits of the Live Owl Nest Cam Project
Scientific Research: The live stream provides valuable data for scientific research on owl behavior, breeding patterns, and habitat preferences.
Public Engagement: Engages the public in conservation efforts by allowing them to observe and connect with wildlife in real-time.
Education: Offers an educational tool for schools and nature centers to teach students about owls and environmental conservation.
Community Involvement: Encourages community involvement in wildlife monitoring and conservation initiatives.
Promotion of Eco-Tourism: Attracts visitors to the sanctuary, boosting eco-tourism and supporting local economies.
Long-term Monitoring: Enables long-term monitoring of owl populations, contributing to their conservation and management.
Technological Innovation: Showcases the use of innovative technology in wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts.
Inspiration for Future Projects: Inspires other organizations to implement similar projects, expanding the impact of wildlife conservation efforts.
HOW IT WORKS:
Setting up the Green feather cameras on a dedicated 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi network, specifically allocated for the cameras' usage. This ensures a stable and reliable connection for streaming live footage of owl nesting activities.
By configuring the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) with backend network configuration, we optimize the camera setup to seamlessly integrate with the sanctuary's infrastructure. This allows for efficient transmission of high-quality video feeds from the cameras to our streaming platform.
To facilitate the live streaming process, we utilized Broadcasting Software , we are able to capture the video feed from the bird feather cameras and encode it for live streaming purposes.
Through careful calibration and fine-tuning of broadcasting software settings, we ensure a smooth and uninterrupted live stream of owl breeding activities. The live stream is then broadcasted on YouTube, providing viewers with an immersive and engaging experience as they observe these magnificent birds in their natural habitat.

With the Green feather camera securely in place, we move on to the next phase. Here, we meticulously hook up the wiring, connecting the green feather cameras to the sanctuary's network. Prior to mounting, we conducted thorough conductivity tests to ensure seamless transmission of live footage from the cameras.
