Bundaberg cattle farmer Steve doesn’t have a horse on his property yet there’s one equine product he wouldn’t be without.
A nifty camera that allows him to check in on his cattle via live video from his phone, any time of the day or night.
The “Equine Eye“ 4G camera doesn’t need power or fixed wifi. It works “off grid“ in paddocks and sheds via solar panel.
Setting it up over feed lots, water troughs and livestock pens means Steve can watch the herd remotely.
A set of eyes in the barn during calving time or over expensive farm machinery, the camera can easily be moved from location to location.
With motion detection alerts, Steve can position the camera at a property gate and receive a notification if the camera is triggered.
The camera will automatically record footage that can be played back later, if needed.
Along with being a great security tool, motion detection alerts are also useful for welfare checks on livestock who are roaming large paddocks.
Setting up the camera over a water trough means when the stock come in to drink Steve receives a notification on his phone.
He can livestream the animals or watch the recording back later.
From the couch at night, to the other side of the property on a busy work day or the pub on a Saturday afternoon, the video feed can be accessed from anywhere.
The camera can even be used in stock crates and trucks to view livestock in transit.
Being wireless, it is portable.
Fixed and magnetic mounts are available separately, so the same camera can easily moved across the property or in trailers as needed.
The camera needs a SIM card to operate (it uses 4G data only) so the usage location must have a decent 4G signal.
Proudly Australian, the Equine Eye team is committed to supporting farmers in maximising the benefits of this cutting-edge technology.
