Qingfeng Farm is a modern comprehensive farm located in the remote mountainous area, covering a vast area. Its main businesses include the cultivation of organic vegetables, the breeding of characteristic poultry, and the cultivation of ecological fruits. Being far away from the city, the farm has insufficient coverage of nearby network base stations. Traditional wired monitoring equipment is restricted by the complex terrain and unstable power supply, failing to meet the farm's management needs. To break through this dilemma, Mr. Zhao, the owner of the farm, decided to introduce solar 4G outdoor cameras, which have brought about many changes to the farm's operation.
I. Installation and Adaptation
After thorough investigation, Mr. Zhao selected the Perfina PE-A092 solar 4G outdoor cameras. These cameras are equipped with high-efficiency solar panels that can efficiently convert ample sunlight into electrical energy to charge the large-capacity batteries, ensuring the stable operation of the cameras day and night and in different weather conditions. The 4G module ensures stable data transmission even in mountainous areas with weak network signals.
During the installation, the farm's technicians installed the cameras at key points according to the layout of the farm, including all entrances and exits of the farm, large-scale vegetable planting areas, poultry breeding houses, fruit orchards, and the distribution areas of irrigation facilities. The whole process avoided complex wiring procedures. Through simple bracket fixation and equipment debugging, the installation was completed quickly. The cameras are connected to Mr. Zhao's mobile phone and the computer in the farm management office via
the 4G network. With the supporting APP, Mr. Zhao can view the real-time footage of the farm at any time as long as there is a network signal, regardless of his location.
II. Practical Application Achievements
1. Comprehensive Upgrade of Security Protection
One late night, the motion detection alarm of the solar 4G camera installed near the farm warehouse was triggered. Mr. Zhao, who was resting at home, received a push notification on his mobile phone and immediately opened the APP to check. The monitoring footage clearly showed that two suspicious persons were trying to pry open the warehouse door lock. He quickly contacted the nearby security personnel and reported the case to the police at the same time. Thanks to the high-definition real-time footage transmitted by the camera through the 4G network, the police accurately grasped the characteristics and location of the suspects and arrived at the scene quickly to arrest them, successfully preventing the theft of agricultural machinery, tools, and agricultural materials in the warehouse and safeguarding the farm's property.
2. Fine Agricultural Production Management
In the vegetable planting area, Mr. Zhao can remotely observe the growth status of vegetables every day with the help of the high-definition footage of the cameras. After a heavy rainstorm in summer, he found through the monitoring that some vegetables in the low-lying areas had waterlogging and root rot. He immediately arranged for personnel to dredge the drainage channels and adjusted the subsequent irrigation strategy, reducing the losses of vegetables caused by waterlogging disasters. For different growth cycles of vegetables, he also optimized the fertilization and pest control plans based on the data accumulated from long-term monitoring, increasing the vegetable yield by 15% and significantly improving the quality.
3. Efficient Control of the Breeding Process
In the poultry breeding houses, the solar 4G cameras enable Mr. Zhao to keep a close eye on the health of the poultry in real time. One day, he noticed that several chickens were listless and isolated from the flock, seemingly ill. He immediately informed the veterinarian to come and check. After diagnosis, it was found that the chickens were infected with a respiratory disease. Due to the timely discovery, by isolating the sick chickens and using targeted medications, the spread of the disease was effectively controlled, reducing the mortality rate of the poultry and ensuring the breeding benefits. At the same time, the cameras monitor the daily work of the breeding personnel to ensure timely feeding and cleaning of the poultry houses, improving the breeding management efficiency.
4. Optimization of Logistics and Supply Chain Coordination
During the fruit harvest season, Mr. Zhao can check the ripeness of the fruits in the orchard through the cameras and reasonably arrange for pickers to go to different areas for picking, ensuring that the fruits are picked at the best ripening period and maintaining their freshness. In the transportation link, he can monitor the traffic conditions of the farm roads, plan the transportation routes in advance, avoid delays in delivery time due to road congestion, ensure that the fruits can be delivered to the market in a timely manner, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance the competitiveness of the farm's fruits in the market.
III. Long-term Benefits and Prospects
Since the introduction of solar 4G outdoor cameras, Qingfeng Farm has achieved remarkable results in terms of security and management. The incidence of security incidents has dropped significantly. The previous losses of agricultural materials and machinery caused by theft have been avoided, reducing economic losses by about 8% every year. In terms of management, the allocation of human resources has become more reasonable. In the past, special personnel were required to conduct frequent inspections. Now, through remote monitoring by cameras, about 10% of the labor costs have been saved. These direct benefits have led to an approximately 10% growth in the farm's economic benefits within a year. Mr. Zhao:“The solar 4G outdoor cameras have closely connected the remote farm with the outside world and provided us with a 'clairvoyance' for precise management. In the future, we plan to add more intelligent devices and further build a smart farm to continuously improve the modernization level and market competitiveness of the farm."
