Herries Preparatory School in Cookham Dean, Berkshire, has used an Axis 214 PTZ network camera to help its pupils further develop their studies on the habitat of the stag beetle.

The school's studies of the stag beetle began in 2002, and the latest development has been the introduction of the camera and Milestone XProtect software, funded by sponsors and digital surveillance integrator InCam and communications development company, Jordan.

The dome encased, tripod-mounted camera sends live images from the stag beetles' wood piles across the school's network to be shared on PCs or classroom whiteboards. Images are also viewed by other schools across the internet.

Axis Communications managing director Steve Gorski said: "We are always encouraged to see our network cameras being used in new and interesting ways. For the pupils to be able to control the camera in their classroom and zoom in right up close to the beetles brings their subject to life."
