Melbourne-based technology company donates $5K monitor to support Brevard Zoo

October 23, 2026

Electric Picture Display Systems (EPDS), a Melbourne-based company specializing in visual display technology, donated a 98-inch commercial-grade monitor valued at more than $5,000 to Brevard Zoo.

Installed earlier this summer, the display will support the zoo’s research, education and conservation work.

EPDS designs, integrates and supports display systems for a variety of applications, including commercial facilities, simulation and training environments, control rooms and immersive visual experiences. The company’s work focuses on providing visual technology that helps organizations communicate, collaborate and train effectively.

Tommy Miller, operations manager of EPDS, said the company was pleased to contribute technology that supports the zoo’s mission.

“We’re proud to support Brevard Zoo and the important work its team does to advance conservation, research and education,” Miller said. “We hope this display helps the team collaborate more effectively with its partners and prepare volunteers to make an even greater impact in protecting Florida’s natural resources.”

Brevard Zoo, an independent nonprofit, works to connect people with nature through wildlife experiences, education and conservation initiatives. Its efforts include research, habitat restoration and projects to protect Florida’s native wildlife, including work to restore the Indian River Lagoon.

The donated monitor will be used in the zoo’s conference room for meetings with research partners and training sessions for volunteers involved in restoration projects.

Ashley Rearden, director of conservation at Brevard Zoo, said the equipment will support the team’s day-to-day work.

“We will use this daily, whether we are collaborating with our partners on research or conducting volunteer trainings for our restoration work,” Rearden said. “This was an important need for us, and they delivered.”

The donation gives the conservation team an additional resource for coordinating research and preparing volunteers to support the zoo’s restoration efforts.
