Hello Nanno
Goatoscope great "late" Birthday present.
Now be careful none of the video gets on line or you might get problems from the GRA (Goat Rights Association)
Violation of Privacy Clause. You don't want to get on the "Horns" of their Head Butters. They are good at it.
=======================
OK back to reality:
I have used horseoscopes to watch mares close to term for years. Mine were hard wired CCTV types.
I also ran a VHS Recorder that should give you a idea of how long ago I started using CCTV systems.
The Red Neck Goat Shed has had a wireless CCTV system with low light capability in it from the start.
No nanny's to watch but it is nice to be able to look in on them for safety and security.
It's when you wake up and hear strange noises outside in the dark, middle of the night I want to know if my boy's are IN TROUBLE or MAKING TROUBLE .
Wireless is not really wireless. You need to have a AC power supply to run the camera.
Most systems only have a transmitting range of about 300 feet. Building walls etc in between the TX and RX points will reduce range. Steel Barn (Pole Buildings) are very bad for cutting your "Signal Strength down"
Try to get the antenna outside the building if possible. Put the Receiver close to a window if you can.
You know from experience how "Tall" a goat can get when standing up. Make sure your camera and power cords are well above their reach. BTY: Goats love to eat the "Rubber Ducky" type antennas on any kind of equipment
If you have any questions about setting up the system feel free to ask.
There are some tricks I know about that can help you.
Happy Trails
Dose having my boy's "On Camera" mean I have "Show" goats?
