Farming Surveillance Solutions

There are many misconceptions surrounding rural security, including that off-grid houses and farmlands are less prone to crime and with neighbours widely separated from each other, that security systems aren’t all that necessary. In fact, it has been recently proven that it might be safer to live in a city than in a rural area: there are more people to witness a crime, and police presence is way stronger.

Often times in rural areas its more crucial to have security systems in place to keep assets and livestock safe. Problems like stolen machinery, breaking fences or animals going missing is harder to monitor when there are no witnesses. That’s why having a security system installed in the area can give warning to those attempting to cause problems and monitor all farm assets.

So if you live in a remote location such as a farm or countryside and you want to put extra protection on your animals and the area around your home, installing a security system around the area can help keep your home, your livestock and valuables protected.

Farm Security Cameras

One of the most reliable and effective ways to ensure the safety of your premises is to install farm security cameras.

Farm security cameras can be used for several purposes, from surveillance for intruders, fuel storage and water supply protection, to monitoring livestock movement and employees’ daily operations. Many cameras can synchronise with your smartphone or computer, so you can view the video feed anywhere in real-time.

To choose the best camera for your farm, you need to define your purpose clearly. What issues are you hoping to resolve by installing the farm security system? This will provide you with insights into the optimal camera size, it’s positioning, and whether you should opt for faster reaction time or higher resolution images.

After this, think about where you would like to mount the cameras. Farmers usually install cameras around the fuel, water, and equipment storage areas as well as near gateways to keep track of people entering and exiting the property. The other areas of concern are typically those along the fence line or gate since they are most vulnerable in terms of trespassers. Installing solar security cameras on light poles or stands can also make use of the clear weather and environment in farm areas.
