The
camera
is located in South Western Pennsylvania, USA. Our webcam is
broadcast live 24/7 all year round. There is an automated feeder which
is setup to feed at 7:15 AM, 12:00 Noon, 7:30 PM, and 10:30 PM (Eastern
Time Zone) on the main camera. The feeder puts out a small amount of
cracked corn and sweet feed to attract an array of wildlife. The feed
is only used to attract the wildlife and not provide a food source they
can live off of.
The camera is located in a wooded area about 30 miles east of
Pittsburgh, PA on private property which is not open to hunting.
The main camera is a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera in which we can
remotely move the camera around and zoom in on different animals. In
the evenings and weekends we will control the camera for viewers to get
a closer look at the wildlife
There are motion-activated cameras that will switch on when
something is in front of them. These are wireless video cameras that
are battery powered and charged by solar panels. Remote camera 1 is
about 1/4 mile from the base camera and is setup over a salt block and
feed block. Remote camera 2 is about 1/2 mile from the base camera and
is setup over a feed block. Both are setup for whitetail deer.
In the late fall we will setup a 3rd remote camera over a carcass site.
You will see fox, coyotes, hawks, turkey vultures, and more. This is a
truly unique webcam and there is nothing like it anywhere in the world.
Best Viewing Times
While we can't control nature and which animals are seen on our webcam
we do get an array of different species that visit the site daily. Most
people enjoy watching the whitetail deer. You are most likely to see
them appear on the main camera in the mornings around 7:00 AM Eastern,
and sometimes around Noon. However, the remote cameras often have deer
appear on them at random times during the day and night.
In the mid morning hours throughout the day you will see
groundhogs, gray squirrels, blue jays, mourning doves, wild turkey,
various song birds, and the occasional raccoon. The groundhogs are
preparing for winter hibernation and will be seen eating a lot during
the daylight hours. Right before hibernation they will be seen feeding
at night.
During the night hours it's not uncommon to have several whitetail deer
show up, but they do not follow any kind of schedule and sightings are
random. However, on the main camera you are guaranteed of seeing large
numbers of raccoons as this is a favorite feeding spot. They can be
seen all evening long. Typically remote camera 2 is active with
whitetail deer during the night hours.
