I have one hard wire out to shed camera to router cheap and cheerful but 3 years on works really well one camera covers my shed as lambing/calving aid.

Have one for calving, pleased enough. I got it set up through a security company. Have needed a few bits of help to get it going some seasons. Mostly due to only using it for around 10 weeks a year I suspect

We have hicvision system watching the yard, been in about two years now an no issues. Can view cameras form my phone and get notifications if someone comes in the yard. Only running 6 cameras at the moment but can have up to 16 on the system.
Found it very easy to use especially through the app.

Is the picture quality good when it detects someone?

Depends on the quality of the camera, I’m only using standard definition cameras at the moment and they have some age about them now as they where part of our previous system. As they fail they will be getting replaced with HD cameras which are far superior in picture quality.
As an example this was a detection on one of the cameras yesterday

We have one camera set up low down so it will pick up number plates.

OK thank you

Good job it spotted those horse thieves!

Don’t want them bringing costly animals like that on the place…!

Best paying product on the farm , but still we only have 4 and that’s more than enough

Best paying product? Are you on a contract with Tesco or something…?!

I’d choose the caravans any day!! They can’t escape by themselves….nor do they bite or kick! Not all of the caravan owners smell either.

Can’t think why anyone should choose the horse…

If they don’t behave they could end up on the menu , the horse do pay more though than the caravans though (not in total). Once these go there won’t be any more though.

Just for an alternative I've been running LivestockEye PTZ cameras for security/calving for couple yrs.
