4G solar calving camera, 36x zoom

Description

Check on a calving cow from the kitchen, or look at the yard gate, the machinery shed or a far paddock without driving out. This is a 4G camera: it needs no WiFi, no mains and no wiring. A 4G SIM card comes with it, with a free trial of about 2 to 3 days. It runs entirely on solar power, including through Irish winter conditions.

You pan, tilt and zoom from the app. Two lenses give you a wide view of the whole pen and a long zoom lens for close-ups, and the app shows both at once. Laser infrared night vision and a white light give you a picture after dark. When its two motion sensors pick up a person, it sends an alert to your phone and the red and blue alarm lights come on. Recordings go to a microSD card or to cloud storage.

After the trial you choose a SIM plan in the app, which also tells you when your data is running low or has run out. Plans start at €12.90 for one month and cost less per month when you buy 6 or 12 months at a time. The plan is paid separately from the camera, and each camera needs its own SIM plan.

The camera has a full metal body and is weatherproof. You mount it yourself on a wall or post. The mounting bracket is easy to use, so the camera is simple to take down and move to another spot. A 6 m cable is in the box for when the panel needs to sit away from the camera.

It comes with a one year warranty against defects. Damage caused by the user isn't covered.
