In this paper we describe our work on building a large scale testbed for wireless video sensor networks. The site for this testbed is a zoo located in north Sweden, Lycksele djurpark. The zoo covers an area of about 47 hectares and is home to more than 400 animals, divided into 30 spieces. This gives us the possibility to build a large scale deployment rich of events to detect. The site is located in nothern Sweden where the winters are dark and cold and the summers have a lot of sunshine. This is an challanging environment for the sensor network deployment where the solar powered sensor nodes needs to be highly adaptive.
