Livestock Farm
Security at a Equine facility or farm is critical in today’s environment because of animal safety and quality assurance requirements as well as for protecting the horses from being stolen or tampered with and damaged as well as protecting the equipment and farm assets.
Fires have occurred in several race horse facilities and the horses perished in the fires. It is important to have monitoring and safety equipment in place in equine facilities regardless of the size or number of horses being housed in the facility.
Surveillance systems are also widely used to evaluate employee performance, to ensure that protocols are being followed correctly and the horses are safe and secure and are not being tampered with or altered in any fashion.
Security Innovations installs systems that are high quality, digital video and audio recording systems with every system custom tailored to the specific need, requirement and desire of the owner.
In livestock facilities some locations to consider cameras are:
Water Supplies - Secure high problematic areas.
Parlor - (usually takes 2 cameras) - Is procedure being followed correctly by all shifts? Parallel parlors will place a camera at each end looking in toward the center and herringbone parlors will place one at the entrance and one in the center looking toward the back).
Birthing Pen - Usually putting the camera off to one side will give a better view of the entire pen. (many times a wide angle lens may be needed)
Break Room & Time Clock - Prevent "double-punching" on the time clock and abuse of paid breaks.
Driveways - Know who is coming and going when you aren't there.
Also, are the animals being checked when they are supposed to be?
Feed Lanes Monitor feed push up times. How long were they out of feed?
Barn EntrancesBe sure no unauthorized people are coming into restricted areas.
Shops- Find out why your tools are disappearing.
Lagoons Safety. Be sure nobody opens a valve and causes a disaster!
Gates- Who left the gate open and let the cows out?
Fuel Tanks- Who is getting fuel that should be?
