Optex IP surveillance cameras save zoo animals from theft

Drusillas Park, a 15 acre small-animals zoo in the UK, recently added a series of Optex IP cameras to protect its animal tenants, which include meerkats, owls, gibbons, otters, and attractions like a Thomas the Tank Engine train ride.

Widely regarded as the best small zoo in the UK, Drusillas Park elected to install the Optex surveillance system after a string of endangered marmoset thefts.

The Optex System has been very reliable thus far - with no false alarms and no attempted robberies.

Optex's wire-free surveilance technology has made advanced configuration easy, and allows for more advanced and sensitive detections, using advanced REDWAVE technology.
