Remote TV System For Hog Barns HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 4-6-26 Hog raisers will be interested in a new closed circuit television monitoring system developed by DABCO, of Toddville, Iowa.
Although TV monitoring systems have been around for a few- years, they have had their problems for hog and cattle barns. Most have involved scanning cameras which are limited in that they are unable to view the entire area of intent without obstruction.
Attempts have been made to set up a series of fixed cameras to solve these problems. They worked well, but their high cost has made them prohibitive for most on-farm livestock barns.
DABCO's system uses just one camera mounted on an overhead track. Usually, the track is placed along a row of crates, pens or stalls. The camera is powered so it can be moved along the track to check the animals. It takes about three or four minutes for the camera to travel 50 ft.
Remote control allows you to turn the camera on and off. You can also make it go forward or in reverse. For more thorough checking, you can stop the camera and scan an entire area.
