PTZ Cameras, The Best Tool For Calving!

PTZ stands for Pan-Tilt-Zoom. PTZ Cameras offer several advantages over stationary cameras in a calving situation. Here's a few reasons why they're so useful:

PTZ cameras are extremely versatile, they allow farmers to remotely control the direction and zoom of the camera. This means that instead of being fixed on a single view, a PTZ camera can cover a wide area, providing an overview of a large part, if not all, of your barn or yard. You can pan across areas, tilt to adjust the angle, and zoom in for a closer look.

When dealing with a cow in labor, the cameras can be especially useful. A PTZ can zoom in on the birth and monitor progress in order to identify any complications, without having to disturb things. For example, a rancher could see a cow in labor, use the PTZ camera to zoom in for a closer look and notice if it's a breach birth. After the birth, the rancher can follow the calf while zoomed in to make sure it does not suffocate from the placenta, make sure it stands up, and that it gets fed.

While stationary or fixed cameras are still handy, you run the risk of missing these details if the angle is not quite right, or if it's too far away to make out the details.

PTZ cameras offer dynamic monitoring, flexibility, and broader coverage, making them a superior tool for calving situations compared to the fixed perspective of stationary cameras.
