Peace of mind for farmers
Monitor your animals with the help of Páiric Shanahan CCTV & Intruder Alarms
Keeping close watch on calving cows is of critical importance to farmers at this time of year, and thankfully the process is made a whole lot easier with the help of Páiric Shanahan CCTV & Intruder Alarms.
Based in Toomevara, Páiric set up his fully-licensed home, farm and business security venture in 2015. In that time, he has found particular demand for his Cow and Beef Farm CCTV Security and Surveillance systems.
Cow and Beef Farm CCTV means you no longer need to be glued to a fixed monitor in your home. In fact, it allows you to keep watch over your animals from anywhere in the world through your smartphone – or indeed anywhere there’s access to the internet.
The cameras have wide-angle lens and a ring of leds that allow them to see in the dark (also known as night vision). The system involves installation of an antenna that sends a signal wirelessly up to 2km (line of sight) to a receiving antenna outside the farmhouse. From there, a cable is run back to a fixed monitor in the home where you can view the livestock in real time.
This means you can monitor your calving cattle in real time in your home in a system that includes sending images straight to your mobile phone. Relatively easy to install and user-friendly, the system affords peace of mind for farmers at a particularly busy time of the year.
HORSE CCTV
Similarly, the specialist Horse Foaling Camera Kit provided by Páiric Shanahan CCTV & Intruder Alarms is designed to meet the specific demands of horse foaling and livestock breeding. This long-range wireless kit can be set up in your barn or stables, allowing you to closely monitor images and audio of your animals from the comfort of your home. This system also makes it great for use as a lambing camera.
Horse security and surveillance is an important part of overall equestrian care. Foaling cameras and cameras used to watch sick horses are essential to farm monitoring, but they are not the only CCTV farm security that is needed. Monitoring to make sure that the horses are not injuring themselves or other horses and foals is also an important part of good equestrian management.
Also, many small and large horse facilities have discovered the benefit of monitoring and documenting their horses’ behaviours and habits. Re-playing the horse video footage to study behaviour and habits, or to show your vet how a horse is acting or responding, is a handy tool to have when providing adequate care for your horses.
CCTV AND ALARM SECURITY
Of course, having CCTV cameras installed also goes a long way towards protecting your property against malicious acts by vandals or thieves.
And towards this end, another aspect of Páiric’s business is the provision of high-standard intruder alarms designed to meet the specific needs of your premises. The Toomevara man’s service includes carrying out a security audit to identify suitable security solutions that meet your requirements.
He can install a monitored burglar alarm that provides a response from a keyholder or the authoritative department. Premises can be protected and monitored by alarm-receiving centres (ARCs), 24/7, operating 365 days of the year, ensuring that you are secure and safe. These systems are installed to the local law enforcement authority standard, enabling direct connection to the authority if police or law enforcement officer response is required.
Páiric also installs home security cameras that can be controlled from your smart phone or through a mobile touch screen device. These enable you to get a ‘Live View’ or ‘Play Back’ video footage.
