Intel CorporationJackson Bottom Wetland Preserve received a generous grant from Intel in 2009 to upgrade our remote camera system.

The remote camera system from IP Pro Tech provides continuous video that can be viewed in the Wetlands Education Center. Visitors and researchers can remotely control the pan, tilt and zoom. Viewers can observe nest site activity or count waterfowl on the wetland. A combination of cables and wireless technology is utilized to transmit images from the camera.
