Day Secure’s Multi-Layered Approach to Farm Security

Closed-circuit television (CCTV)

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems are a fundamental component of farm security, providing round-the-clock surveillance of your property. By strategically placing cameras throughout your farm, you can monitor activity in key areas such as entrances, barns, and livestock enclosures. 

 

Farm Alarms

Farm alarms are a crucial part of any security setup, instantly alerting you to potential threats on your property. With motion sensors and door/window detectors, they trigger loud sirens and notifications to your phone, enabling swift responses to security incidents.

 

Perimeter Protection

Secure your farm boundaries with fences, gates, and motion sensors that detect movement. Wireless options offer real-time monitoring and quick alerts, enhancing security.

 

Livestock Security

Protect your animals with secure enclosures, RFID tagging, and GPS tracking, ensuring their safety and well-being.

 

Visible Security

Deter criminals with visible signs, alarms, and lighting, creating a perception of risk and fostering confidence in your farm’s security.

 

Farm Security System

Integrate alarms, CCTV, access control, and monitoring software for comprehensive protection. Remote access and alerts keep you informed and proactive in managing security risks.

Legal Framework for securing your farm

The Theft Act 1968

In accordance with The Theft Act 1968, securing your farm is not just a practical necessity; it’s a legal imperative. Prevent unauthorised access and protect your valuable assets from theft, ensuring your farm remains a secure and lawful space.

 

Agricultural Holdings Act 1986

This code provides guidance on public authorities’ use of surveillance cameras, including hidden cameras. It emphasises the need for transparency, proportionality, and accountability in surveillance practices.

 

Criminal Damage Act 1971

Safeguard your farm infrastructure as per the Criminal Damage Act 1971. Our comprehensive security solutions not only deter potential criminals but also act as a strong line of defence against property damage, ensuring the longevity of your farming assets.

 

Animal Welfare Act 2006

Aligned with the principles of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, our farm security solutions extend beyond protecting property. We prioritise the well-being of your livestock, providing a secure environment that minimises the risk of harm to your animals.

Privacy Considerations

While hidden surveillance cameras serve vital purposes, their use must adhere to strict privacy considerations. The Human Rights Act 1998 protects the right to privacy, and any surveillance action must be justifiable within a democratic society. Therefore, hidden cameras must be employed only when there is a legitimate reason and the surveillance is proportionate to the objective.

In conclusion, the use of hidden surveillance cameras in the UK is regulated by laws and guidelines that balance the need for security and law enforcement with the protection of individual privacy. When used responsibly and in compliance with these regulations, hidden cameras can be a valuable tool for safeguarding national security, gathering evidence, and enhancing safety and security.
