Our first goal was to quickly understand the incumbent system, analyse it comprehensively, and make recommendations for additional facets to develop the scheme.

Due to the high levels of security associated with this site, this involved running through many firewalls. As an accredited Cyber Essentials Partner, we had our expert ‘boots on the ground’, to ensure the connectivity and integrity of the cameras feeding to the control room.

In terms of hardware, we also had to procure two new cameras and reconfigure them to the new system as the electrical storm had severely disrupted the functionality of their media converters.

Whilst the safety of the birds is vital, adding the Osprey Experience to the site is a real jewel in the attraction's crown. Capturing the birds on camera brings the public closer to these majestic creatures.

There are three cameras on the nest in total. One static 4k camera focuses on the entire nest and pole, with another fixed to the nest itself.

An additional PT camera is mounted on a lower level about fifteen metres away. One camera streams live images directly to Llyn Brenig's Youtube page, for fans to keep an eye on these majestic birds.

Finally, to ensure the security scheme remains fully operational in the event of a similar problem, we installed a redundancy system that reroutes power to a backup source.

To improve access to the camera view for the Site Manager and Security Team, we also installed a camera app on their phones so they can keep a close eye on their feathered celebrity couple.
