Choosing Affordable Wireless Security Cameras for Farms 

Installing wireless security cameras on farms require strategic placement to maximize coverage, deter intruders, and monitor critical areas. 

1. Identify Key Surveillance Areas

  • Monitor animal welfare and detect predators or trespassers. 
  • Cameras can be positioned both inside and outside barns for complete coverage.

  1. Equipment & Machinery Storage 
  • Protect tractors, tools, and other valuable machinery. 
  • Mount cameras high to prevent tampering while maintaining a clear view. 

  1. Perimeter & Fence Lines 
  • Place cameras along fencing to spot trespassers or escaped animals. 

  1. Crop Fields & Irrigation Systems 
  • Monitor irrigation systems to ensure proper function. 

2. Prioritize Essential Features 

To keep costs down, focus on features that are most important for farm security: 

  1. Smartphone Compatibility – Ensure the camera works with an app for live viewing and alerts.
