Equipment, fuel and tool theft
Tractors, ATVs, diesel and tools disappear from unlit yards. Gate cameras with plate capture and yard cameras with smart alerts cover them.
Security Camera Installation for Farms, Marinas & Rural Properties
We install camera systems for working farms, equestrian properties, marinas and boat storage, cottages, estate acreages and rural businesses across the GTA, Caledon, King, Durham, Simcoe County and Muskoka: barns, equipment sheds, fuel tanks, gates, docks and driveways, using wireless links, solar power, LTE and Starlink so distance and missing hydro are not a problem.
Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Kitchener, Barrie and Muskoka. Same-week site visits.

Coverage of our Ontario service expansion, November 2025.
Farm and rural property CCTV installation, planned around how the farm actually works
The barn is 300 metres from the house, the dock has no power and winter reaches minus 30. We solve power, connectivity and distance first, with wireless bridges, solar units, LTE and Starlink, then put cameras on the equipment, the fuel, the animals and the lane.
- Free site visit and a camera-by-camera layout before you commit
- Our own licensed and insured technicians, no subcontractors
- 4K cameras with colour night vision and smart person and vehicle detection
- 3-year warranty on the installation

What a farm surveillance system has to solve
We start every design with the incidents you actually deal with, then put a camera where each one happens. These are the five we plan for on every property job.
Livestock, barn and biosecurity
Barn cameras show foaling, calving and intruders, and record who entered a biosecure area.
Docks, boats and marina slips
Boats, motors and electronics are stolen from docks at night. Long-range and low-light cameras over the slips, with wireless links back to the office, change that.
Empty cottages and seasonal properties
Break-ins and frozen pipes happen when no one is there. Cameras with alerts and remote viewing keep you informed all winter.
Trespass and dumping
Trails, pits and back fields attract trespassers and dumping. Solar cameras on the access points record plates and faces.
Where the security cameras go in a farm
A security camera installation plan for farms, marinas and rural properties is a list of positions, not a camera count. This is the coverage plan we start from on the site visit and adapt to your building.

Driveway gate and lanewayCameraLicence plate camera plus 4K overview on a postWhyEvery vehicle that enters, day or nightMountPost at the gate, 1.2 m for the plate camera and 3 m for the overview

Mounting heights are our field standard: around 3 metres for faces, 4 to 5 for overviews, 6 and up for yards with a narrow lens or a PTZ. Lens choice is set per position during the site visit.
Best security cameras for farms
These are the camera types we specify most often for farms, marinas and rural properties, and the positions they earn on a property plan. We install them from Uniview, Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Ubiquiti and Verkada depending on the budget and the software you want to live in.
Turret cameras
Our default outdoor camera for storefronts, loading docks and yards. The ball-in-socket design aims easily, the IR sits away from the lens so there is no glare, and the housing shrugs off snow.
Bullet cameras
Long-range cameras for fence lines, laneways, gates and large parking lots. Varifocal lenses let us read a plate or a face from 30 metres and beyond.
Solar-powered cameras
A camera, battery and solar panel on one pole for construction sites, farms, marinas and lots with no hydro. We add LTE so the footage reaches you anywhere.
Wireless cameras
Wi-Fi and point-to-point radio cameras for outbuildings, gates and sites where trenching a cable makes no sense. We size the radio link so the video never stutters.
Battery-powered cameras
Cameras that run for months on a charge for temporary needs, remote sheds and spots with no power at all. They record on motion and send alerts to your phone.
Licence plate cameras
Purpose-built cameras that capture plates at entrances, gates and drive-throughs day and night, with the plate number searchable in the recorder.
PTZ cameras
Pan, tilt and zoom cameras that follow movement across a warehouse floor or a truck yard. One PTZ with auto-tracking can replace several fixed cameras on a large site.
Thermal cameras
Cameras that see heat instead of light for perimeter detection in total darkness, fog or snow, and for early fire detection in recycling and storage yards.
More farm camera system features we specify
Beyond the four above and the standard 4K, colour night vision and remote viewing, these are the things a property system needs that a generic installation leaves out.
- 05
Colour night vision
Starlight and ColorHunter sensors see in colour under a yard light where ordinary cameras show grey.
- 06
Smart alerts to the city
Person and vehicle detection sends alerts to your phone wherever you are, not every deer or branch.
- 07
Plate capture at the lane
A dedicated plate camera at the gate records every vehicle that comes in.
- 08
Power and connection monitoring
The system emails you if power or internet drops at an unattended property.
Standard on every installation
- 4K and 8 MP detail for faces and licence plates
- Full colour night vision with Smart IR to 30 m
- Smart person and vehicle detection alerts
- 137 degree wide and 360 degree fisheye views
- IP67 housings rated for minus 30 to plus 60
- Local NVR recording plus optional cloud backup

IndustrialHow we install security cameras in a farm
- 1
Property walk and signal survey
We walk the buildings, measure distances and line of sight, check LTE and Starlink options and agree what each camera must show.
- 2
Power and link design
Wireless bridge paths, solar sizing, recorder location and a fixed price, often combined with a Starlink installation in the same visit.
- 3
One-trip installation
Cameras, links, Starlink and Wi-Fi are installed in one visit so you pay for travel once.

Remote setup and winter check
The app on your phone, alerts tuned, power and connection monitoring on, and a check after the first cold snap.
What farm security camera installation costs
Installed ranges in Canadian dollars for the system sizes we see most in farms, marinas and rural properties. Camera count, cable distances, mounting heights and retention move the number. The written quote after the free site visit is fixed.
| System | Typical installed price |
|---|---|
| Cottage or rural home, 4 to 6 cameras with gate camera | $2,800 to $5,500 |
| Farm with barns on a wireless link, 8 to 14 cameras | $6,000 to $13,000 |
| Marina or boat storage yard, 12 to 24 cameras | $9,000 to $22,000 |
| Solar and LTE camera unit for a remote point, installed | $3,000 to $5,500 |
Starlinkand cameras in one visit
We have installed Starlink for cottagers and farmers from Creemore to Huntsville for years. Adding cameras on the same trip is the most common rural job we do.
Farm security camera questions we get asked
Straight answers on camera count, equipment, retention and cost. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
My barn is far from the house. Can cameras still reach it?
Yes. A point-to-point wireless bridge carries full-resolution video hundreds of metres or several kilometres with line of sight, and solar power covers barns without hydro.
We have no internet at the property. What then?
We install Starlink or use LTE for the connection, and the recorder keeps footage locally so nothing is lost when the link drops.
Will the cameras work in a Muskoka winter?
Yes. Housings rated to minus 30 and below, heaters where needed, recorders on battery backup and a check after the first cold snap.
Can I watch the cottage from the city?
Yes. Secure remote viewing and smart alerts on your phone, plus an email if power or internet drops.
Do you cover marinas and docks?
Yes. Long-range and low-light cameras over the slips and storage yard, wireless bridges to reach the far docks and spray-rated housings.
What does a rural camera system cost?
A cottage or rural home runs $2,800 to $5,500 installed, a farm with barns on a wireless link $6,000 to $13,000 and a marina $9,000 to $22,000. Standalone solar and LTE units run $3,000 to $5,500 each.
