Farm Agriculture Security

Rural, Farm & Agriculture Security Systems

Practical, tailored security and communications solutions for farms, agricultural properties and remote sites across regional Western Australia. From remote sheds and fuel storage to machinery, entry points and isolated facilities, 100 Solutions combines security, communications and networking technology to design farm security systems around your property, your risks and the infrastructure available.

What Security Risks Do Farmers Face?

Farmers in rural locations face many different security risks, not least among them the sheer distance that many properties cover, with multiple property entry points, high-value assets and facilities located at significant distances from the main farm residence.

Monitoring workshops, storage sheds and farm machinery for unauthorised access or theft through farm video surveillance is a key agriculture security concern. Farmers may also need to distinguish between legitimate workers and vehicles and unknown vehicles or intruders.

Effective rural security systems can also provide early warning of incidents such as fire, spills or other emergencies in remote facilities, while accounting for limited connectivity and locations where mains power may not be available.

How to Secure Your Farm or Rural Property

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for rural security systems; we assess your security concerns, site requirements and available infrastructure, including a site assessment where appropriate, before designing a system around your property.

For most rural properties, communication systems will actually form the backbone of your farm security system, rather than just installing CCTV cameras. We’re concerned with ensuring that the right information is being recorded, alerts are being sent for the right reasons and you are in control of your assets, near and far and can view and access them remotely as needed.

Farm Security Solutions & Agricultural Surveillance Technology

A reliable farm security system often involves more than CCTV alone. Depending on the site, 100 Solutions can combine surveillance, sensors, communications, networking and remote-access technology to help protect and monitor the areas that matter most.

Rural Security in Practice

Every rural property presents different challenges. These examples show how security, communications and monitoring technologies can work together to solve practical problems across farms and remote sites.

100 Solutions installed cameras and monitoring sensors at a farm facility located approximately five kilometres from the farmer’s residence.

The system allows the farmer to receive an alert if activity is detected and remotely view the site before deciding whether they need to travel there.

It also provides additional visibility of the facility if an abnormal event such as a spill or fire occurs. Rather than relying on a simple alarm, the farmer can use the cameras to better understand what is happening remotely.

100 Solutions has completed rural security projects involving cameras, motion detection, storage and safe monitoring, backup recording and alert systems around firearm storage areas.

These systems can notify the property owner of unexpected activity and allow them to remotely view the relevant cameras.

The appropriate security design will depend on the property, storage arrangement and individual requirements.

Fuel and fertiliser can represent significant value while often being stored in isolated areas of a farm.

A suitable farm security solution can combine cameras, vehicle detection and number plate recognition to provide more useful information about activity around these locations.

For example, known vehicles may be identified while activity involving an unknown vehicle can trigger an alert, allowing the farmer to check the site remotely rather than receiving a generic movement notification.

Why Choose 100 Solutions for Your Farm Security?

100 Solutions is based in Corrigin in the Western Australian Wheatbelt, so rural and regional projects are a core part of what we do.

We understand that protecting a farm or remote facility can involve much more than choosing a camera. Every agricultural property has its own layout and infrastructure, with factors such as distance between buildings, limited internet access, power availability and network requirements all influencing the final system.

Our strength is combining security, communications and networking knowledge to develop practical solutions around the individual site rather than adapting a standard metropolitan CCTV installation.

With more than 20 years of technical knowledge, 45+ years of combined experience and a strong focus on regional Western Australia, we can assist with the design, installation and ongoing technical support of systems for complex and remote sites.

How It Works – Our Farm Security Process

While each project is unique, a farm or rural security project will generally follow similar steps, including:

Initial Discussion

We will sit down with you to understand your farm security concerns, the main assets you want to monitor and protect, past problems or risk factors and your desired outcomes.

Site Assessment

We’ll conduct thorough site assessments where needed. This will typically include an assessment of distances between principal residences and facilities that need monitoring and protection and property entry points; we’ll look at details like building specifications, power and communications infrastructure and network requirements, as well as other site-specific requirements.

System Design

From our site assessment we are then able to design a rural security system with the appropriate combination of cameras, sensors, recording equipment, communications infrastructure, connectivity and alert systems. Our objective is always to choose the right combination of technology and equipment appropriate to your agricultural site and needs.

Quotation

Based on our assessment and designs, we’ll quote for the proposed solution and explain how the major components will operate.

Installation and Customer Setup

Once design and quotation have been agreed upon, we will install, configure and test the system, including communications and remote-access functionality. Where applicable, we configure mobile access, notifications and remote viewing and explain to you how everything works.

Ongoing Support

Our involvement does not necessarily end once the system is installed. Depending on the project and agreed service arrangements, we can assist with remote troubleshooting, firmware updates, network troubleshooting, system health checks, camera cleaning and adjustment, call-outs and future system expansion.

Other Industries

100 Solutions also provides tailored commercial security systems and business security systems. We design security and communications systems for regional and rural businesses, warehouses and industrial facilities, manufacturing, workshops, offices, government and community sites and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do farmers manage security risks?

Start by identifying the parts of the farm with the greatest security or operational risk rather than trying to monitor the entire property in the same way.

Priority areas may include fuel and fertiliser storage, workshops, machinery sheds, firearm storage, property entrances and isolated facilities. Cameras, sensors, vehicle identification and communications infrastructure can then be designed around these locations.

What is the biggest security problem for farmers?

Distance is one of the biggest challenges.

High-value assets and facilities may be kilometres from the farmhouse and unattended for long periods. A good rural security system therefore needs to detect an event, communicate it reliably and provide enough information for the owner to determine what is happening remotely.

What’s the best rural security system for a large remote property?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all security system. We’ll look at the best options according to your property and factors like distance and telecommunications coverage and suggest the appropriate solutions.

Can I install farm security cameras where there is no internet connection?

In many cases, yes. Each farm is unique, so we’ll recommend the best options for your location, which could be wireless point-to-point links, 4G/5G connectivity, Starlink and local recording or a mix of technologies. A site assessment helps determine the most reliable and cost-effective approach.

Can cameras be installed where there is no mains power?

Potentially, yes. When we design your system we can look at installing solar-powered and standalone equipment where there’s no mains power.

Can I monitor a shed or facility several kilometres from my house?

In most cases, yes. We help create rural security systems that include communications links between remote buildings and other locations using technologies such as wireless point-to-point links or mobile networks.

Can I see my farm cameras from my mobile phone when I am away?

Yes. Where suitable connectivity is available, your system can be configured to provide remote viewing and alerts on compatible mobile devices.

Can an agricultural security system identify vehicles entering my property?

Yes. Number plate recognition and vehicle detection can be incorporated into suitable systems. For example, a system can be configured to recognise known vehicles, while generating an alert when an unidentified vehicle enters a designated high-security area.

Can a rural security system monitor more than theft?

Yes. We can design farm security solutions that include appropriate technologies to assist with monitoring facilities for unauthorised access, fire, spills or other abnormal conditions. This can be particularly useful when a facility is a significant distance from the farmhouse.

Are DIY camera systems suitable for farms?

Rural properties often introduce challenges involving distance, power, connectivity, recording and communications reliability which are not suited to DIY systems. For larger or more critical applications, professionally designing the cameras, communications network, recording and alert systems as one integrated solution can provide a more reliable result.

Can an existing farm security system be expanded later?

In most cases, yes. When we design a farm security system, we ask clients to consider future expansion needs. This makes incorporating additional cameras, sensors or monitoring areas easier as the property’s requirements change.

How much does a farm security system cost?

Because there’s such variation between each farm’s requirements, there’s no meaningful standard price. Cost is affected by the number and type of cameras and sensors, distances involved, communications infrastructure, availability of power and internet, recording requirements, remote access, civil or cabling work and the level of monitoring required. 100 Solutions assesses the property and recommends a system appropriate to the customer’s risks, requirements and budget.
