[Jacob-list] Barn Camera

[Paintedrockfarm at aol.com]

I use security cameras -- easy and generally inexpensive purchased from  
Radio Shack or similar type store.  Lowe's has a decent system as well by  First 
Alert also.  If you do not have a really long distance to cover from  barn to 
house (like under 300 feet), opt for the wireless system.   Otherwise, longer 
distances will require underground cable installation, which  also drives up 
the cost.  My cameras are from the First Alert system and  have video and sound 
on a small 5" monitor we have in our bedroom.  
 
During lambing season, it stays on any time I am indoors.  If it seems  to be 
a "quiet" night ahead, I turn down the picture and only keep the sound  up.  
It's too much light for me to sleep with the TV on, so I darken it to  
maintain sound only.  I can rest better and still am a light enough sleeper  to be 
awakened by the grunts, groans and "talking" of ewes in labor.
