Farm Safety & Security
Keeping an eye on your property
Simple and effective security
The Yard-Vue captures high-definition video with sound and images.
With agriculture-based crime increasing in frequency and severity, being able to keep a close eye on your property has never been more important. The Yard-Vue features an ability to show you what it sees – no matter where in the world you are – as well as being able to capture high
definition (HD) video with sound and images. The HD camera can be mounted where it is needed, then connected to both your home network and the free-of-charge smart device app. Once these steps are complete, users are ready to see their property at any time using their mobile phone or similar smart device. Yard-Vue is waterproof and comes equipped with a sensor, which enables it to send users push notifications should any movement occur within a user-defined area of the camera’s field of view. This means there is no need to feel you have to constantly check the feed unless you need or want to. The design is discrete, yet the manufacturer says it has enough presence to act as a deterrent to wouldbe troublemakers. Yard-Vue is suitable for use in domestic, commercial or agricultural situations. ■
