Rural property theft has reached alarming levels so it might be worth considering a security camera to protect your assets.
Alarming levels of theft from farm and rural properties continue to frustrate property owners, with the main targets being rolling equipment, tools, stored fuel supplies such as diesel and livestock and machinery especially chainsaws and welders.
Key targets seem to be virtually anything of value that is unsecured or can be easily removed.
Recent thefts at Strath Creek in central Victoria confirm three properties had been raided with losses calculated as four chainsaws, two welders, assorted power and other tools, kitchen appliances, a quad bike, step ladders and scaffolding along with personal items.
Silvan Australia’s Selecta merchandise division offers a range of inexpensive solutions for monitoring farm and livestock security.
For example the new motion activated Wi-Fi compatible 12 megapixel Selecta Day & Night Security Camera is low fuss and easy to employ.
With its small size and waterproof ingress protection (IP) 54-rated housing, this camera provides asset protection aid suitable for indoor and outdoor use both day and night.
All Selecta Day & Night Security Cameras are motion activated and include no-glow infra-red for night vision with a range from fifteen to twenty metres.
The cameras also have a multi photo capacity with the capacity to take from one to three photos every time it is triggered.
With its camouflage and mounting strap; the camera can be installed where it cannot be seen so that an intruder will be unaware their movements and actions are being recorded.
The new Selecta Day & Night Security Camera is bundled with an 8 gigabyte Wi-Fi SD card enabling automatic file transfer of the information recorded to Apple and Android phones or tablets.
Powered by small AA batteries the camera has delivers an operating life is measured in many months for capturing movement activated still photo or moving video images of any intruder.
The information recorded can be viewed on the colour screen of the security camera or stored on a USB or SD card to be viewed on a camera, LCD screen or downloaded for viewing to a television screen, personal computer or similar device.
Other key features are the timer function, which allows the camera to be turned off during daylight hours so that only suspicious movement at night or at designated times is recorded.
Equally it can be used to record activity around a house or building in daylight hours when the owner may be away or at work.
Information provided by the camera can be confidently passed on to a security firm or the Police.
Selecta spokesman Greg Everett says the Selecta Motion Activated Security Camera with its Wi-Fi upgrade is an ideal, cost effective protective device that will allow any unlawful activities, trespassers or illegal entries, theft and even vandalism to be recorded.
“It’s easy to use features with the capacity to record a lot of evidence can provide the sort of information to lead to a police conviction or recovery of stolen goods,” Everett says.
“The Selecta camera is equally valuable for livestock surveillance or to keep a watch on wildlife, fox, pig or wild dog activity.”
