Welcome to the Farms Advice Podcast, we’re ambitiously naïve so we’re here learning our way through the farming life. On today’s episode you can expect a solid conversation on how it will improve your daily routine and/or outlook on and off-farm.
John Hill, co-founder of Land Watch Australia, shares his journey of starting the company and the various applications of their camera systems in agriculture. The primary segments they serve are security, water monitoring, and bushfire monitoring. They are also exploring the use of AI to enhance their camera systems, such as detecting unusual behaviour and providing alerts. The information from the cameras is delivered through their app or integrated with other dashboard portals like FarmBot. The market for their products is diverse, including cattle producers, big stations, and anyone looking for reliable and durable camera systems in rural areas. Land Watch provides camera monitoring systems for agricultural properties to prevent theft and monitor livestock. The adoption of ag tech, such as surveillance cameras, is driven by the need to protect valuable assets like livestock and fuel. Reporting stock theft is crucial, but often underreported, and Land Watch aims to encourage farmers to report incidents and provide evidence. The company installs camera systems that are connected to the homestead through a wireless point-to-point connection, ensuring a secure network across the property. Land watch's goal is to become a household name in agricultural security and protect Outback Australia.
