The Farm Safety Capital Investment Scheme (FSCIS) under TAMS 3 offers farmers up to 60% grant aid to upgrade essential safety infrastructure - including livestock monitoring cameras for calving, foaling and lambing. With funding available for wiring, lighting, doors, equine handling facilities and more, it’s an ideal opportunity to improve safety and efficiency on your farm. Many farmers qualify without realising it, and with advisers typically charging only a couple of hundred euro to handle applications, now is the perfect time to invest in a safer, smarter setup.

Solar-powered CCTV cameras are becoming extremely popular across Ireland - especially in rural areas where traditional power and broadband options are limited. With simple installation, zero cable requirements and reliable off‑grid operation, solar cameras offer a smart, affordable way to secure your home, farm or business.

Lambing and calving season are some of the most demanding times of the year on any farm. Animals often give birth overnight, and checking sheds every hour can quickly become exhausting. That’s why more Irish farmers are investing in lambing and calving cameras to monitor livestock remotely.
