Barn Camera & Livestock Monitoring Installation
Protect What Matters Most, Day and Night
Your livestock can't tell you when something's wrong. A calving cow in distress at 2 a.m., a barn door left open, a water trough running dry in July heat, these are the moments that keep producers up at night. Wetaskiwin Agri-Tech Ltd. installs practical, reliable barn camera and livestock monitoring systems designed specifically for Wetaskiwin-area farms, so you can check on your animals from your phone instead of walking the yard in a snowstorm.
We're not an urban security company bolting cameras onto barns. We build monitoring systems around how your farm actually operates: calving seasons, feeding schedules, seasonal weather swings, and the realities of rural connectivity.
Benefits of Barn Camera & Livestock Monitoring Systems
A reliable monitoring system helps improve livestock care, increase farm security, and simplify daily operations. With remote access, real-time monitoring, and early detection of potential issues, you can reduce livestock losses, save valuable time, enhance operational efficiency, and maintain better control over your farm, all from the convenience of your smartphone or tablet.
What’s Included in This Service
On-Site Assessment
We walk your yard and barns with you to identify where monitoring matters most, calving pens, feed and water areas, entry points, and high-traffic zones, and map out a system that fits your operation and budget.
Remote Viewing Setup
Live feeds configured on your phone or tablet, so you can check the calving pen from the kitchen table or the field.
On-Farm Training
We don’t just install and leave. We walk you and your family through the system so everyone on the farm knows how to use it with confidence.
Weatherproof, low-light cameras positioned for clear visibility in calving barns, loafing sheds, and yard areas, wired or wireless depending on your infrastructure.
Environmental & Access Monitoring
Temperature checks, ventilation monitoring, and water-level or access alerts added where they make practical sense for your herd.
Seasonal Support Packages
Ahead of calving, lambing, or winter housing, we help you test and tune your system so it’[s ready when you need it most.

Built for Canadian farm tech Realities
"The farmer has to be an optimist, or he wouldn't still be a farmer."
— Will Rogers
Most monitoring systems on the market are designed for warehouses or suburban homes, not for a barn in a February cold snap.
Our approach to Canadian farm tech starts with what actually holds up here: equipment rated for Alberta winters, systems that keep working through power blips, and setups that don’t require a computer science degree to operate. This is technology built around the rhythms of farming, not the other way around.
Will barn cameras actually work with our farm’s internet or cell signal?
Yes, that’s the first thing we check. During your on-site assessment, we test your actual connectivity, whether that’s rural broadband, satellite internet, or cellular signal, and design the system around it. In areas with weak or unreliable connections, we can set up local recording and storage, so you’re never dependent on a spotty signal for critical footage, with remote viewing layered on top wherever possible.
Can these cameras handle a real Alberta winter?
That’s what they’re built for. We install equipment rated for extreme cold and temperature swings, not off-the-shelf units meant for a garage or suburban porch. Our systems are also set up to keep functioning through power blips common in rural areas, so a brief outage during a February cold snap doesn’t leave your calving pen dark.
How much does a barn camera and monitoring system cost?
Basic setups start around $1,500 plus hardware, but the final cost depends on your barn layout, how many zones you want covered (calving pens, feed areas, entry points), and whether you add environmental or access alerts. We use fixed-fee pricing, so you get a firm quote after the on-site assessment, no surprise invoices later.
Do you install cameras specifically for calving and lambing season?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons producers reach out to us. We position low-light, weatherproof cameras in calving pens and loafing sheds so you can check on a laboring cow from the house at 2 a.m. instead of walking out in the dark and cold. We also offer seasonal support packages to test and tune your system before calving or lambing starts.
Who can see the camera footage, and is it private?
Your footage and remote feeds are set up for you and whoever you authorize on your farm- family members or hired help- and it’s not shared with or accessible by outside parties. During installation and training, we walk you through exactly who has access and how to manage it, so you stay in control of your own farm’s footage.
