Located in Budai, Chiayi, the migratory bird wetland is a peaceful ecological park. Many bird species and their symbiotic plant and animal communities reside and thrive here, forming a vast ecosystem. In the southern Budai Wetland, one can spot various bird species, including the Black-faced Spoonbill, the White Spoonbill, and the Red-billed Gull, attracting numerous visitors and birdwatching photographers.
Given its expansive size, covering 1,385 hectares, managing the park purely by manpower is difficult and impractical. Over-reliance on human resources could disturb the fragile ecosystem. Moreover, when deploying cameras to monitor the area, a different approach must be taken due to the unique characteristics of the site.
Firstly, due to the special nature of the site, the camera deployment needs to be strategic, with a focus on coverage rather than density. Excessive camera installations would waste resources and pose maintenance challenges. To achieve extensive coverage, PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) rapid dome cameras are the optimal solution, as they offer both broad and long-distance coverage.
"A single PTZ camera can replace several traditional cameras, which is one of its strengths," said Steve Hu, Chief Information Officer at LILIN. "The 40x optical zoom PTZ camera is rare in the market, and with infrared capabilities reaching 800 meters and intelligent monitoring features, we are confident that this product is well-suited for this specialized application."
Cameras are not just for monitoring; they can also aid in ecological management, exemplifying the positive role surveillance equipment can play. Intelligent cameras are capable of recognizing not only humans but also animals, offering a wide range of applications, such as detecting animal intrusion along defined paths. These solutions are not only feasible but have already been successfully deployed in real-world scenarios.
