Camera Systems
Animal monitoring
This is the most common reason for installing cameras. In many cases, cameras are set up at different angles in fresh pens to monitor close-up animals. This can mean fewer wasted trips to the fresh cow barn and timely response when intervention is necessary. Other examples for animal monitoring include mounting them in sort pens, feed bunks, or the holding area.
Employee monitoring/staff safety
Setting up cameras in the parlor removes the variable of whether protocols are being followed, or not, and can pinpoint areas where steps can be modified or streamlined. It is also helpful to have video available when training new employees and to have a mechanism in place for monitoring visitors.
Security
Some farms use cameras for increased security. Having a camera at the fuel pumps, milk house or other outbuildings not only acts as a deterrent, it also provides peace of mind.

A farm computer with Dairy Comp is extremely useful, and it can be just the beginning of integrating your information access throughout your farm.

This regular service can alert the dairy of many possible problems before they begin. PC Green service is only available in the Northeast.
