Farm CCTV and livestock monitoring
Cameras for calving and lambing sheds, yards, fuel stores and machinery barns, where the farm's broadband does not reach or the nearest cable is a field away. A 4G or 5G router at the shed, a SIM and the right antenna let you watch livestock and secure the yard from your phone.

Typical farm CCTV set-ups
One or two cameras in a calving or lambing shed
A compact router beside the camera, powered from the shed supply. Night-time viewing on a phone needs steady upload, so mount the antenna outside the shed if the signal inside is weak.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUT200 or Proroute H685T PoE (powers one camera), a low-profile magnetic antenna on the shed roof, and a SIM.
Yard, gate and fuel store cameras
Several cameras recording to an NVR in the farm office or a barn, viewed remotely. Upload speed decides how many cameras you can watch live, so this is where a Cat 6 or 5G router and a MIMO antenna pay off.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 or RUT956, a Fullband MIMORAD antenna, and a fixed IP SIM for direct NVR access.
Remote barns and outlying buildings
Where the building is too far from the house for Wi-Fi or cable, put the connection where the signal is. An outdoor router on the barn wall brings 4G or 5G into the building over one Ethernet cable that also powers it.
Typical kit: Teltonika OTD140 (4G) or OTD500 (5G), with a PoE switch such as the Teltonika TSW101 for cameras.
Things to check before you buy
- Signal at the building: check each network's coverage for the postcode and test on site if you can. Metal sheds block signal, so plan for an external antenna.
- Upload speed: live viewing sends video up from the farm. Use the camera's sub-stream for remote viewing and record full quality to the NVR on site.
- Remote access: camera apps that use the manufacturer's cloud work with any SIM. Direct access to an NVR needs a fixed IP SIM, a VPN or Teltonika RMS.
- Power and weather: industrial routers handle the dust, damp and temperature swings in farm buildings far better than home routers.
From Teltonika
Teltonika's own case studies show how its routers are used for camera systems and on farms: cellular routers for CCTV camera systems, reliable multiple-camera connectivity and livestock emissions monitoring. For set-up detail, Teltonika's wiki covers port forwarding for NVR access.
Every farm is different. Tell us how many cameras, where they are and how you want to view them, and we will recommend the router, antenna and SIM. Send us your requirements or call 0300 124 6181.
Farm CCTV questions
Can I watch my calving shed cameras on my phone?
Yes. With a 4G or 5G router at the shed and either the camera maker's app or a fixed IP SIM, you can view cameras live from anywhere with mobile signal.
How much data does farm CCTV use?
Recording to an NVR on site uses no mobile data. Data is used only when you view remotely or record to the cloud. Occasional checks use little; watching for hours a night during calving uses much more, so choose a plan to match.
Do I need 5G?
Not usually. Good 4G handles a few cameras. Choose 5G or Cat 6 where you need several cameras live at once and 5G coverage is good.
