Livestock Theft
Safeguarding livestock is vital, and animals are often the most valuable assets on a farm. Continually monitored CCTV can be positioned around pasture land, paddocks, barns, stables and outbuildings to provide constant CCTV surveillance even when livestock and herds are positioned within remote grazing fields.
Agricultural Machinery Theft
Unfortunately, thieves often target farms looking for valuable machinery and vehicles such as quad bikes. CCTV can manage access permissions to actively prevent thefts, use facial recognition to identify unknown individuals and be focused on areas most exposed to criminal activity.
Threats Against Livestock:
Rural areas experience persistent challenges due to dog walkers with out-of-control pets or people approaching electric fencing or restricted access fields who disregard safety notices or cause harm to livestock. Pre-emptive CCTV can address these challenges and protect livestock from accidental or deliberate harm.
Intrusions and Fly-Tipping:
Perimeter CCTV can detect intrusion attempts and unintentional trespassing at any point along the farm’s boundaries. It acts as a first line of defence and raises an alert before an intruder approaches assets, livestock, buildings, or dumps waste on open land.
Vandalism and Trespassing:
Larger agricultural businesses might have numerous outbuildings for livestock, material and feed storage or equipment. Protecting every structure on the farm ensures that any attempt to trespass, steal or vandalise, even around units furthest away from central farm buildings, is identified and flagged.
Environmental Threats:
Hazards such as fire and flooding can be as serious as criminal threats. Always-on CCTV can detect initial indications of a fire or be programmed to monitor for risk factors around outbuildings like hay barns where the risk is high.
