The Problem
A local farmer had experienced theft of live animals on a few occasions and came to us seeking a solution. Ideally, he wanted a system that could detect only human or vehicle entry through a padlocked gate and along a 200m boundary fence and instantly notify him including live video footage to his mobile phone. He didn’t want to be bothered by rabbits, cats or possums!
The Challenge
A large and isolated property where the farmer's house was approximately 1.5km from the area requiring the security solution. The site had power but not an internet service.
The Solution
We installed a solar wireless beam system with 2 active infra-red beams, 1 across the gate and the other 2m inside and along the 200m fence line. The beam receiver unit was interfaced to a CCTV system recorder with 2x 4K Ultra High-Definition cameras mounted on a 4m steel pole and providing coverage of a wide area. A 4G sim card router was also installed.
The Action
When either beam is triggered a push notification is instantly sent to the farmer's mobile phone to allow him to quickly verify the situation and react accordingly. He can also remotely view the cameras at any time on his mobile phone or laptop.
