Farm Security Cameras

Monitor Livestock: Farm security cameras help in monitoring livestock. Users can ensure the health and well-being of the animals and keep an eye on their behavior.

Protect Assets: The valuable equipment, machinery, and other assets on farms require protection. Farm cameras deter theft and vandalism by providing surveillance coverage across the premises.

Deter Intruders: The cameras keep intruders away. They are visible and can detect motion and unauthorized access. They send real-time alerts to the connected devices for immediate action.

Remote Monitoring: Most farm cameras offer remote viewing and control. Users can see the live feed from any location and also control the camera settings and see recordings.

Wi-Fi Farm Security Camera: A Wi-Fi farm security camera requires a reliable Wi-Fi network. It's suitable for locations where Wi-Fi is available and there is no issue with Wi-Fi range. It could be powered by an adapter or a built-in battery. It's easy to install and can offer incredible performance on a farm.

4G Cellular Farm Security Camera: A 4G cellular farm camera is a completely wireless security camera. For power, it uses a built-in battery that can also be charged using a solar panel. To get internet access, it uses the 4G cellular network. Users need to insert a SIM card with a data plan. It can work at any location and is a perfect option where Wi-Fi is not available.

Farm Security System: A farm security system consists of multiple security cameras to cover multiple locations and angles. It contains a central unit, such as an NVR, that controls all the cameras and also stores their recordings. It is suitable for larger farms to monitor different places.

Long Range: The farm security camera should have a long range to cover clear details for distant objects. Usually, farms are large and animals are scattered, so having a long-range camera will ensure incredible results.

Connectivity Options: Consider the connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi or 4G cellular network. If the farm already has a Wi-Fi network or you want to control multiple cameras, Wi-Fi cameras or systems are suitable. But if Wi-Fi is an issue and the farm is small, you can consider 4G security cameras.

Power Supply: For continuous power, you need to go with wired power connections, such as an adapter, which is connected to an AC outlet. And if you want a wireless option that can record even in power outages, you can go with battery-and-solar-powered cameras.

Weatherproof and Durability: The security cameras must be weatherproof to work in all weather conditions. It is better if they are IP-rated. You can go with IP65 or higher. The body should be strong enough to last for a long time.

Coverage Area and Property Size: Depending on the coverage area and property size, you need to select the number of security cameras or the system. For small properties, you can select pan-and-tilt cameras for wider coverage. For long ranges and multiple cameras, bullet cameras are better.

- Select locations from where the cameras can cover a long distance and a wider area without any obstructions in the field of view.

- Place the cameras higher than 8ft to prevent vandalism and tampering. They will be out of reach and will offer better results.

- Position the camera downward at a 15-30 degree angle for maximum coverage and minimal glare.

- The Wi-Fi or cellular network should be stable in that location to ensure reliable performance.

- If the cameras are wired, hide the wiring and make them waterproof at joints. If it is a solar-powered camera, place the solar panels at optimal locations for maximum sunlight.

Some farm cameras require a monthly fee for advanced features like real-time monitoring, remote access, instant alerts, etc. Reolink security cameras do not require any monthly fee or subscription. They offer all the advanced features for free once you buy the camera.

If the Wi-Fi is off, farm cameras will still capture the video and save it in the local storage. However, they won't offer features that require internet access, such as remote access, real-time alerts, live feed, etc.
