Bald Eagles Nest, Pittsburgh Live Cam

Live PTZ webcam broadcasts a real-time view of the nest of bald eagles in Pittsburgh. A pair of Bald Eagles are now nesting within 5 miles of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania along the Monongahela River. Webcam allows you to remotely observe birds.

The video stream from the camera is transmitted over the cellular network, and since the system is installed in a remote place, it is powered by a battery and is charged by solar panels.

The camera is a Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera with built-in IR illuminators for nighttime viewing. The camera is mounted in a tree about 9 meters from the nest site with a view down into the nest. The operator can remotely move and zoom the camera (up to 36x optical zoom) to follow the eagles. During the day the video will be broadcast in color, and at night it will be black and white.
