All That's Missing Is the Rain and Mosquitoes!

Pratt Museum remote video cameras bring you "eyeball to eyeball" with Alaskan wildlife. You watch critters in their natural habitat without disturbing them by controlling cameras from the comfort of the museum. The action is live and the images are sharp and colorful. It's almost like being there.

More Than Just Another AnyCam

Controlling the remote cameras inside the Pratt exhibitGreat technology and Alaskan wildlife combined with interesting exhibits and programming makes this much more than just another technological curiosity. Since the Pratt first pioneered this mix in 1998 it's proven to be a fabulous tool for scientific research and education. And it's fun. So far, it only happens during the summer when most critters are active, there's plenty of daylight, and the weather isn't too nasty.

 

The Pratt Museum started experimenting with remote video technology in 1998 as part of the Kachemak Bay Discovery science education program. The objective was to develop educationally and scientifically sound technique for utilizing the technology. During the ensuing 5-year prototyping period, the project has involved seasonal installations at three remote sites, Gull Island, East Amatuli Island, and McNeil River State Brown Bear Sanctuary. The Museum has continued its remote video camera programs at Gull Island. and adds a new program at Brooks Falls in the Katmai
National Park in July 2008.
