Check your calving pen from bed at 3am. We install the Wi-Fi link to the shed, mount the camera, and set up live view on your phone — one visit, no monthly fees.
Wi-Fi to the Shed, Camera on Your Phone, No Subscription
Most calving camera problems are connectivity problems. The shed is too far from the house, there is no Wi-Fi, and the camera cannot send a reliable picture. We solve the whole problem in one visit: a wireless bridge from house to shed, a weatherproof camera with night vision mounted where it matters, and the app set up on your phone so you can check heifers without leaving the house. UniFi Protect runs entirely on your own network with no cloud subscription, no monthly fees, and no footage sent to third parties.
What You Should Expect
- Live calving pen view on your phone, day and night, from anywhere
- Recorded playback so you can review a calving you missed while you were out
- Zero monthly fees — UniFi Protect records locally with no cloud subscription

Process
How This Service Starts
Use the same rule on every commercial service page: diagnose first, scope clearly, then install or tune what is actually needed.

Review layout and existing equipment

Implement the right scope

Service FAQ
Questions About Calving Camera Installation Ireland
Straight answers before you commit.
How far can the wireless bridge reach?
The bridges we use can cover well over 1 km with clear line of sight. A typical farmyard of 50–300 metres is straightforward.
Can I see the camera on my phone when I am away from the farm?
Yes. The UniFi Protect app gives you live and recorded footage from anywhere. Unlike older systems that need a static IP or port forwarding, this works out of the box with any broadband.
What happens if the power goes out?
The camera and bridge run on PoE (Power over Ethernet) from a single switch. Adding a small UPS keeps the system running during short outages.
Is there really no monthly fee?
Correct. UniFi Protect records to a local device on your network. There is no cloud subscription or recurring charge.
Can I check what happened while I was out?
Yes. All footage is recorded locally so you can scroll back through the timeline, review a calving you missed, or check how a heifer is progressing.
Can you add more cameras later?
Yes. The system supports multiple cameras. Adding a second camera for a lambing pen, foaling stable, or extra angle on the calving shed is simple once the bridge and console are in place.
Do you cover rural areas outside Dublin?
Yes. We cover Dublin and surrounding counties including Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, Louth, Westmeath, Cavan, Monaghan, Laois, and more.
