Diana's PTZ Cam at the Raccoon Saloon

A Wandering Eye on the Wildlife

Named after its operator, "Diana's PTZ" is a pan-tilt-zoom camera at the Raccoon Saloon, a former rural hunting camp in the Maine countryside that a colony of wild raccoons has claimed as their own. Unlike the property's many fixed cameras, this lens can sweep and zoom across the back of the building to follow the action wherever it happens.

Feeders and a Ramp

The view centers on the weathered siding at the rear of the Saloon, where a pair of hanging suet feeders draw songbirds and a wall-mounted metal tray — reached by a sloped wooden ramp — gives the resident raccoons an easy route up from the yard. A rough-hewn woodshed wall closes off the scene to the right.

Part of a Wider Network

This PTZ view is one of many cameras installed across the Raccoon Saloon grounds, each one watching a different room, door, or corner of the property. Together they let viewers follow the resident raccoons — and the occasional bird or passing deer — as they explore their unusual rural home.
