It is a challenge for safety and wildlife control for several reasons:

• The large surface area of the farms complicates the task.
• Public roads are an easy access point for people who may not have good intentions.
• Areas that are difficult to access, on the other hand, are another fragile point because we often neglect their surveillance.

And not only for farms.

If you have a house far from the urban nucleus or warehouses with resources (construction materials, antlers, gasoil, etc.), it is also advisable to take measures.

So… what can you do to keep an eye on your farm or rural property when you are not around without hiring security guards or incurring high costs?

We tell you about it in this post.

How to monitor your farm or rural property without incurring high costs

In the forestry and rural sector it is very important to find a system that guarantees maximum safety at the lowest cost.

Technology is our best tool and it has come to save us.

Although the word technology may seem synonymous with expensive or complicated, the truth is that in recent years it has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now you have available at affordable prices photo trapping cameras with artificial intelligence and sending images, which are a great solution to feel at ease detecting intrusions in your rural property.

They are very easy to use, easy to set up and their artificial intelligence analyzes the images for you.

In other words, you don’t have to look at the photos one by one if someone breaks into your property.

This system automatically alerts you in case of intrusion.

Here’s how it works.

Artificial intelligence farm security system from Renyn Systems

As we explained in this post, in Renyn Systems we designed a specific security system for the agroforestry world that consists of:

1. A full HD surveillance camera that camouflages in the environment, resists inclement weather and captures images with the highest quality on the market in this type of camera.

2. A multi-operator SIM card that connects to the phone company in your area. If your rural property is large and you have coverage from several companies, this SIM card can be used for both (and allows you to send your photos to your cell phone).

3. An application from which to control the camera, set filters by date or recognized object, work in a team and control the permissions of the participants.

In other words, you have it all in your pocket.

And with artificial intelligence, to make your life easier, as we tell you in the next point.

How artificial intelligence helps in the surveillance of your property

You hear the words artificial intelligence and it seems like it’s just something for big companies.

Not at all.

Artificial intelligence is there to help people like you.

How?

While other cameras force you to review the captured images one by one, Renyn’s artificial intelligence system does the work for you.

The application reviews the photos at your location and sorts them by category.

In this way, you or the person you choose in the application will receive a notification if an intrusion occurs that matches the filter you have set: date, time zone, person, animal, vehicle or even license plate number.

Now let’s see how easy it is to configure the camera…

How do I configure my Renyn camera to warn me of possible intrusions?

The configuration is very easy and you only have to answer these questions:

• Which cameras should perform automatic detection?
• What is the target (people, animals or vehicles)?
• Who do I want to notify and how (call or message)?

Here we explain it in detail.

1. Configure cameras to analyze images with artificial intelligence.

The first thing to do is to choose which cameras you want to detect intrusions.

When you are clear, open the application and pull down the side menu.

There choose the «Devices» option.

Select the camera or cameras you want to use with artificial intelligence.

In the camera view, choose the «Artificial Intelligence» option.

This is how easy we have configured the camera so that its images are processed by the artificial intelligence system.

2. Configure the detection targets for the cameras

Now it is time to define your filters (i.e. to determine which elements you want the camera to recognize: animals, people or vehicles).

From the main view, click on the bell icon.

• Once there, click on the «Artificial Intelligence» option to define your search objective.
• Select your object and determine when you want to receive the alarm («never», «always» or you can define the schedule yourself). If you choose the schedule, you should define as many time slots per day as you think necessary.
• Finally, select how you want the application to notify you when the camera picks up a match (by «email», «phone» or «none»).

You got it.

All that remains is to wait for a match to occur to receive the notification by the method you have indicated.

3. Configure the warning method

Finally, we can configure the notification method to choose which person will receive the alert.

Go to the main section and click on the bell.

There choose the option «Notification methods» and activate the email or phone call, whichever you prefer.

Within the settings section you will see, select which users the application should notify when the camera detects a match. If you opt for telephone calls, you should indicate how many times you should call if you do not pick up the phone and how much time should elapse between calls.

You now have your surveillance system ready to go.

In any case, we recommend that you test it before starting it up to make sure that you have configured it correctly.

Use the quick setting for artificial intelligence.

To many people, what we have just told you will seem simple.

But we know that some people don’t like technology very much.

For these people it is probably a bit confusing.

If you are in this second group, you can also configure your Renyn surveillance system using the quick or guided configuration option.

That is to say, a guide will appear that will advise you on the best option depending on what you need.

See how to do it here.

This way you can make sure that you are aware of intrusions in real time whether you are tech-savvy or not.

Take the first step to receive alarms and stay protected

Having security in your farm or rural property is possible.

With 20 euros per month (+ VAT) you can detect intrusions in real time, without having to spend thousands of euros on hiring security guards who probably cannot cover the dimensions of your property.

Advances in technology have made it possible to store more photos in the same space and to have coverage in areas where it was previously impossible.

Therefore, you can now use photo-trapping cameras for wildlife monitoring, farm security and hunting.

In this post we tell you how you can take advantage of a trapping camera and discover the alternative we recommend.

What is a photo trapping camera and what is it used for?

Photo trapping cameras are cameras that take pictures when a person, animal or object activates its sensor by passing in front of it.

Most of them are powered by 8 AA batteries (battery life ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the features and the number of photos).

Although many people use them for hunting, they have other uses:

• Study and monitor the fauna.
• Prevent the theft of construction materials.
• Control the entry of cyclists and vehicles to your property and vehicles.
• Ensure that your employees fulfill their obligations.
• Monitor the accesses and entrances to your preserve, farm, tack room, etc.

When someone or something passes in front of the camera, it takes a picture that is stored on your SD card.

In the past, you had to travel to the camera location to view the photos, but now most of them work with 3G or 4G and send them directly to your cell phone.

These are the cameras that we focus on in this article (we do not recommend cameras without a feed because they do not allow real-time monitoring of what is happening).

What types of 4G photo trapping cameras are available and which one is best?

We introduce you to conventional and AI-powered 4G photo trapping cameras.

4G photo-trapping cameras with image transmission

4G photo trapping cameras are photo trapping cameras that take the photo, save it to the memory card and send it to you instantly.

These cameras send photos by email or MMS thanks to a SIM card that connects to an antenna of your operator (Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, etc.) to connect to the Internet.

Therefore, images are compressed to reduce their size so that they can be sent.

Please note that you need a SIM card with a tariff with Internet connection.

Here are their pros and cons.

Pros of 4G cameras

These are the main advantages of 4G cameras:

• You receive the images in real time by email or MMS on your cell phone.
• In case you need the original photo, the photos are saved in the highest quality on the SD card for your viewing pleasure.
• In case of theft or loss, you do not lose the images taken because you have been receiving them through the app.

Cons of 4G cameras

While there are pros, there are also drawbacks:

• Sending images drastically reduces battery life (and the worse the coverage, the more battery drain).
• The camera is lockedfor approximately 30 secondswhile sending the photo.
• They are an additional cost apart from the camera. You have to pay a contract with Internet connection and the price may increase even more if the photos are sent by MMS instead of email.
• They require coverage to send the photos and sometimes the farm is divided by two different operators (increasing costs).

In addition, they are often quite difficult to configure.  Tosuch an extent that sometimes we do not use them because of the difficulty involved.

You must configure the email to receive the photos, the outgoing email and also the APN (quite complex if you are not used to technology).

4G photo trapping cameras with image transmission and artificial intelligence

At Renyn Systems we have created a solution to these problems.

This is how we developed our camera system with artificial intelligence (the first created exclusively for the agroforestry sector).

What makes Renyn Systems chambers the ideal alternative

Our surveillance system is more than just a 4G photo trapping camera, as it also includes a mobile application where you can manage everything and a multi-operator SIM card.

We tell you in detail why you will get so much out of it:

• The cameras operate at the highest 4G speed on the market. Therefore, they are blocked less than 5 seconds instead of 30 seconds from the time they take the picture to the time they send it. This reduces shipping errors and battery waste (you can also save on battery by equipping it with a solar charger instead of AA batteries).
• The system is intuitive, easy to install and easy to use. Just scan a QR code to set it up and configure it (and if you have any doubts, we can help you).
• Includes a multi-operator SIM card to connect to the operator available in your area. This ensures that your photos are always sent so you don’t have to worry about the operator available in each area.
• The cameras are synchronized with an app for the cell phone, where you will receive the photographs and from where you can configure them remotely (without having to go to where they are placed). It also allows you to see how much coverage there is in the area and how much battery they have.
• The photos are not stored in any way, but the application automatically organizes them by dates, categories or parameters that you select (you go to the point and do not waste time reviewing them all). This is made possible by artificial intelligence, which also distinguishes between people, animals and vehicles(and even by license plate number).
• You receive a telephone or email alert when it detects an image that matches your criteria (you instantly discover an intrusion or the passage of a vehicle on your property).
• You can create work groups with several people so that all of you can see the images.

Although the camera is perfectly camouflaged in the environment, you can equip it with a stainless steel security box to protect it from theft and animals.

How much Renyn Systems’ cameras cost

Phototrap cameras with SIM card can be with SIM card can be purchased from 80€ (those without an internet connection are available from 30€).

However, you must invest at least 140 euros (plus SIM card and monthly Internet fee) if you want the images not to be blurred, the cameras to withstand weather conditions (heat, cold, rain, frost, etc.) and to come with instructions in Spanish. (the others are only available in Chinese or English).

At Renyn Systems we sell the camera with multi-operator SIM card and access to the application for 107 euros (+ VAT).

This is a limited time offer, don’t miss your chance!

It is also a far superior model to others at similar prices.

And if you also want to enjoy all the functions of artificial intelligence, we offer you the renting of the camera (including multi-operator SIM with 4G connection and app access), for 20 euros per month (+ VAT).

It is normal for you to be concerned too.

Especially if you are tired of constantly getting these kinds of surprises:

• Unknown vehicles drive onto your property (and you don’t know if it’s someone you trust with another car or a stranger with bad intentions).
• People sneak in and steal your resources.
• Vehicles are approaching that could be poachers and you need to know that your animals are safe.
• You cannot control when workers enter and leave your farm or security guards (you have doubts about their behavior when you are not in front of them).

What is the solution?

Find the best way to avoid unwanted intrusions.

What is the best solution to prevent intrusions on farms and properties?

You spin it, but none of these alternatives is sustainable in the long term:

• Spending all day at your farm looking out for others (but you can’t do that because you have other things to do and you probably don’t live there).
• Being uneasy all the time you spend away from your property (and worse: confirming your suspicions that you have been robbed when you arrive).
• Make a big investment by hiring a lot of security or expensive systems that warn you of intrusion, but do not distinguish between authorized and unauthorized vehicles.

Wouldn’t it be better to be calm at home and receive a warning when an unauthorized person or vehicle sneaks in?

Said and done.

At Renyn Systems we have a surveillance system with artificial intelligence that alerts you when an unwanted person or vehicle sneaks in.

Some time ago we told you why a surveillance system with artificial intelligence is better than other systems, such as video surveillance cameras, photo-trapping cameras or motion sensors (and they are also more affordable).

Today we explain how to control your property with our system that detects intrusions and recognizes license plates.

How Renyn Systems’ artificial intelligence system works to detect intrusions on your farm

At Renyn Systems we have a system to control your farms and be safe.

This system consists of 3 key elements:

• A surveillance camera with full HD quality (in addition, it adapts to weather conditions).
• A multi-operator SIM card (which connects to the telephone company that provides coverage).
• An application that you can download to your cell phone to manage your security from there.

What makes this system different is the artificial intelligence.

These are its advantages:

1. Capture photos in real time and send them to your device. If someone sneaks onto your farm, you know about it instantly.
2. Automatically recognizes people, animals, vehicles and license plate numbers.
3. Automatically tag images to save time and not have to go through them all (you can create the filters and categories you want).
4. It alerts you by email, message or call when the artificial intelligence detects a person, animal, vehicle or license plate number that matches (or does not match) the criteria you enter.

In addition, you can share it with other authorized members in the application.

Here is an example.

Imagine that only cars with license plates 1111AAA, 2222BBB and 3333CCC have access to your property.

When the camera detects a vehicle with a different license plate, you will receive a notification like this:

License plate recognition: the key to detecting intrusions

License plate recognition is Renyn Systems’ strength in detecting intrusions. They use technology similar to traffic cameras to differentiate the license plate from other elements.

We show you how it works below.

The first step is to download the application, install it on your cell phone and synchronize it with your cameras.

Then you must position your camera correctly.

How to position your camera correctly to detect intrusions?

The Cherokee camera has the capability to analyze license plates, but is not specifically designed for this task.

However, it always recognizes the vehicles shown in the photos and automatically labels and recognizes them.

That is why it is important to position it properly:

1. Choose the right area, where vehicles are traveling at 20 km/h speed (preferably a curve, so that the first thing the camera picks up is the license plate).
2. Set the camera’s multi-shot mode and set it to send all images.
3. Try several tests until you are satisfied with the images your camera captures.

Your camera is now ready to detect unwanted vehicles.

How to configure your camera to recognize license plates and receive alerts?

Just follow these steps: 

1. In the menu you will find the option Artificial Intelligence, inside this section select the option license plates. Once here select add new vehicle, then you will be able to define a license plate.

What do we achieve in this way?

The application analyzes all the images sent to it by the camera on its own, and also tags and organizes them automatically thanks to artificial intelligence.

Next, you have 2 options:

1. In the Gallery menu, you can view the photos your camera has taken and filter by the type of photo you want to view. For example, if you want to see which people have accessed your property between X hour and X hour of the day.
2. Or you also have the option to set up an alert so that the application notifies you without you having to worry about anything when one of the criteria you have indicated is met (for example, when a vehicle with the license plate number AAAA111 enters your property).

This can be done from the menu artificial intelligence/warning method.

So… how can you take advantage of these artificial intelligence features?

For example, by establishing the time slots in which there are people (the application will alert you when someone enters or leaves outside those hours).

Or also by saving the license plate numbers of employees and regular staff (the application will notify you when a different vehicle enters).

In other words…

The surveillance system with artificial intelligence is the most accurate system for monitoring your property and detecting unwanted intrusions to your property (for example, no unnecessary alarm is triggered when someone who is registered in the application passes by).

You should be aware that the camera will not send images during the image sending times (approximately 4 seconds from the time it takes the picture). This makes it difficult for the camera to recognize the license plates of vehicles that enter your property in close proximity.

Control your farm with this license plate recognition system

You can start right now to control intrusions in your farm.

Our Renyn Systems pack includes:

• Full HD camera.
• Access to the Renyn Systems application to carry security in your pocket.
• Multi-operator SIM card to send photos to the app immediately.

 And you can:

• Recognize animals, people, vehicles and license plates.
• Manage and store images in the cloud.
• Filter images automatically thanks to artificial intelligence.
• Receive alerts when the camera detects an image that matches a criterion you have specified.
• Create groups to work and share information and photos with others.

Ask us and we will tell you in detail how it works and how you can install it in your farm!
