Case Study: Wildlife Center of Virginia achieves global outreach and 39,000 monthly viewers with Axis Communications' HD IP camera solution

Animal lovers flock to wildlife web streams with Axis cameras

The Wildlife Center of Virginia, an education-focused animal rehabilitation hospital in Waynesboro, VA, needed higher-resolution, reliable remote video to monitor large flight pens, expand live streaming channels, and support distance-learning outreach. To address this, the Center engaged Axis Communications and deployed AXIS Q6035 PTZ Dome (HDTV 1080p) and AXIS P3367 Fixed Dome Network Cameras to provide optical pan/zoom and robust IP video streaming.

Axis Communications’ solution—eventually scaled to six AXIS Q6035 and four AXIS P3367 cameras—enabled remote diagnosis (for example identifying a corneal ulcer on a Great Horned Owl), three live web channels with moderated chat, and wider classroom outreach. The high-quality streams grew viewership to about 39,000 visitors per month, helped an online community raise funds (notably a $5,000 challenge), and strengthened the Center’s global engagement and education impact.
