One in the barn, one on the yard, one where you need it.
Mount it in the middle of the ceiling. From there it covers about a 40 x 40 ft area, so you see the calving pen, the stalls, and the alley from one spot. Pan, tilt, and zoom it from your phone.
Mount it on a barn corner or a pole and aim it across the yard. It reads 2-inch lettering at 400 ft in daylight, and its night vision reaches 300 ft.
Point it at one spot you check every day: a gate, a feed bunk, or a waterer. It has no moving parts, so it stays on that spot.
Everything you need from barn to phone.
- 1× 5x PTZ inside the barn. Mount it in the middle of the ceiling.
- 1× 16x PTZ outside on the yard or lot. Reads 2-inch lettering at 400 ft in daylight.
- Free 4MP fixed camera for one spot: a gate, a feed bunk, or a waterer
- Wireless bridge + 2 antennas
- Weatherproof control box enclosure
- Network video recorder (NVR)
- All needed cables + a spare
- 1-on-1 setup support. We walk you through it.
- 1 year of free remote tech support
Set up and tested before it ships
Before the box leaves, we set up the recorder and the bridge pair, pair each camera with the recorder and check live video, test pan, tilt, and zoom, and label every cable. You mount it, power it, and connect the labeled cables.
Your barn needs power. It doesn't need internet.
An antenna outside the barn points at a second antenna outside the house. That bridge carries the video to the recorder in your house. The recorder saves it and connects to your router, so you can watch from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Make sure it fits before you buy.
This kit fits when you have
- A barn up to about 40 x 40 ft for the 5x
- A yard or lot the 16x can see within 400 ft
- Power at the barn
- A path where the barn and house antennas can face each other
Call us first when
- Your barn is much bigger than 40 x 40 ft, or you need to watch pasture past 400 ft
- Trees, metal siding, grain bins, hills, or other buildings sit between the barn and the house
- There's no power at the barn yet
We would rather find that out before you buy than make the system sound easier than it is.
Send a photo of your barn and yard to (605) 622-0676. He'll tell you exactly which cameras you need.
Owner prices on the 5x and 16x.
Got a pen, a lot, or a gate you still walk out to check? Add a camera to the system you already run. These prices are for current Cattle Cams owners through Saturday, Nov. 28.

"Instead of going down to the barn in the middle of the night to see if a new calf is up and nursing, I just roll over in bed and view the calf and momma on my phone!"
"We calved heifers in -20 degree weather with no heat in our barn and never lost a calf. One of the best investments we have made for our operation hands down."
"It's like having another full-time employee staying at the barn 24/7."
What ranchers ask before they buy.
The deal
What comes in the kit?
A 5x PTZ camera for inside the barn, a 16x PTZ camera for the yard or lot, and a free 4MP fixed camera. You also get a wireless bridge with 2 antennas, a weatherproof control box enclosure, a network video recorder (NVR), and all the cables you need plus a spare.
Setup support comes with it: 1-on-1 help getting it running, and 1 year of free remote tech support.
Is the fixed camera really free?
Yes. Order the Small Barn and Yard Kit by Saturday, Nov. 28, at 11:59 p.m. Central, and the 4MP fixed camera comes with it at no charge.
When does the deal end?
Ends Saturday, Nov. 28, at 11:59 p.m. Central. The $2,450 kit price and the free fixed camera end then.
I already own Cattle Cams. Is there a deal for me?
Yes. Through Saturday, Nov. 28, the 5x PTZ is $549 (regular $600) and the 16x PTZ is $699 (regular $749). Call or text (605) 622-0676 to order, or see the owner prices.
Will it work at my place?
Does my barn need internet or Wi-Fi?
No. Your barn does not need its own internet service or an existing Wi-Fi network. It does need power. Two outside antennas carry the video from the barn to the recorder in your house.
How far can the barn be from the house?
It depends on what sits between them. The two antennas need to face each other, and trees, metal siding, grain bins, hills, and buildings can get in the way. Call or text us the distance and what's in between, and we'll tell you before you buy.
My barn is bigger, or I need to watch pasture.
A different camera may fit better. Text Brandon a photo of your barn and lot at (605) 622-0676 and he'll tell you exactly which cameras you need, or see the other kits.
Does it work at night and in the cold?
Both PTZ cameras have infrared night vision, and the 16x sees out to 300 ft at night. The cameras run on wired power, so no battery dies in the cold.

Owning it
Is there a monthly fee?
There is no required monthly Cattle Cams camera or bridge subscription. You pay for the kit once. House internet, electricity, and optional support are separate.
Can I watch from my phone? Can my spouse or hired help watch too?
Yes. You watch live and play back recordings on your phone, tablet, or computer, and you move and zoom the PTZ cameras from your phone. You can add your spouse or hired help to the system too.
What if the internet or the power goes out?
If the house internet goes down, remote viewing stops, but the recorder keeps recording. If the power goes out, the system stops unless you have battery backup.
How hard is it to install?
You mount the cameras, mount the two antennas outside so they face each other, and connect the labeled cables. Most ranchers have a 1 to 2 camera setup running the same afternoon they unbox it. Bigger setups take a weekend.
We walk you through it on a 1-on-1 setup call. If the barn needs power added, you may need an electrician.
When will it ship?
We set up and test each kit before it ships. Call (605) 622-0676 for the current build time and shipping to your place. If you calve in late winter, order now so you can mount it on a dry, calm day.
What's the warranty?
3 years on the cameras and 1 year on the other parts.
Can I return it?
Return requests must be made within 15 days of delivery, and items must be unused and in the original packaging. Our refund policy says sale items can't be returned, so call or text us before you order if you're unsure the kit fits. We'll check your setup first.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes. Add cameras at the same barn or yard any time. A second building or pole needs its own bridge antenna, an Extra Location for $350.
Who do I call with questions?
Call or text (605) 622-0676, Monday through Friday, 9am to 9pm Central. On weekends, leave a voicemail and we'll call you back. You can also email sales@cattlecams.com.
Get it on the pole before calving.
