With over 20 years of expertise, they have delivered projects across the UK, Europe, and even the Galapagos Archipelago, working with a diverse range of clients including universities, government departments, broadcasters, nature conservation bodies, and port authorities. Their approach involves analyzing project needs to design end-to-end systems using best-of-class equipment, ensuring both value and durability in adverse environmental conditions.

They offer comprehensive support, including online and telephone assistance, as well as planned and responsive maintenance. Their signature 'Bringing the Outside In' concept originated from a project for the Scottish Seabird Centre, where live images from offshore seabird colonies were beamed to a visitor center, allowing remote viewing without disturbance. This innovative approach has led to numerous awards for their clients.

Outersight's systems now provide access to cameras and microphones via tablets and mobile phones, extending their reach and utility.
