We present details of one operational ground-based experiment for optical detection of GRBs and two which are under consideration/development. The wide-field CCD camera is already in manual burst alert operation with promising results. The Optical Transient Monitor is a CCD-based double monitor suitable for network use for reliable detection of short-lived phenomena in the sky. The system is well suited for correlated efforts with GRB projects. The third experiment is a robotic telescope with automatic response to GRB burst alert messages received via the Internet link. It is expected to get CCD frames with a FOV of 20 deg (needed for BACODINE triggers) of positions of newly detected GRBs within 1 minute.
