Learn how RuralGuard is protecting Netherwood Beef Shorthorns

Netherwood Farm is located in the heart of Scotland and is a hub of agricultural activity. The farm is home to prized cattle and a thriving farming operation, situated below the Campsie Hills - visit Netherwood Beef Shorthorns Website. The location of the farm poses security challenges unique to rural properties.

Netherwood Beef Shorthorns

Challenges Faced by Netherwood Farm

  • Large open fields that cover hundreds of metres
  • Gate entry over 200 metres from the farmhouse
  • No access to WiFi/local internet in outbuildings
  • Machinery and equipment in daily use needing protection
  • Frequent visitors - the need to keep an eye on farm activities
  • Need to protect and monitor livestock

How did RuralGuard Provide the Solution?

Our camera system was tailored to combat these challenges:

  • 36X Optical Zoom: Covers large areas like open fields with ease.
  • Gate Monitoring: The zoom can be used to monitor entry and exit points on the property.
  • 4G Connectivity: With no local internet access, our customer used a RuralGuard 1GB SIM Plan to connect to 4G, enabling live footage instantly.
  • Human Auto-Tracking: Protects machinery, monitors visitors, and guards livestock pens. The camera follows any detected person using 36X zoom and 355° rotation if needed.
