Ideas for yard security?

[Ali27]

So I’ve bought a field and stable yard is being built at the end of the month. I will have a tack room and a hay/ storage barn too! Not planning on keeping my precious Equipe saddle there but will keep most other tack/ stuff there and also my trailer. I’m looking at cctv, possibly a retractable post to secure my trailer with hitch lock. I already have a wheel lock and will paint my postcode on top of my trailer. Any other ideas would be very much appreciated and also recommendations for cctv cameras which work on 4g and solar. Thanks so much ?

Is near your house ?

Make sure your tack room is brick based, but to be honest anyone desperate to get in, will. Unless the door is metal. Make sure your trailer is locked to the floor. CCTV, and flood lights.

To be honest though, the less kept there the better, unless your living on site.

Nope not by my house unfortunately? My husband thinks I should take wheels off trailer when not in use but I use it at least once a week so that’s a no! ?
Yep, I’m thinking not to keep too much down there especially stuff like my clippers/ other expensive items.

for cameras the reolink go ones are super easy to set up, run off a datasim and solar panel. mine record onto a SD card when there is movement and i check in on my phone when i feel like it, but you can also set up notifications.

I'd check with insurers re requirements for a tack room and not keep anything there that would be a massive inconvenience to lose. I've kept saddles at home for years for that reason. anything else can be bodged together while waiting on a claim but sorting new saddles would be a pita.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful if you don't have mains (maybe could get a solar charger) but this week I've managed to rig up a camera that I can access from home using an old mobile phone and an app.

The app is called seecitv and you install it on the old phone and your current one, and set the old phone up as the camera, put it where you want and leave it, there's a motion sensor setting. Maybe good for inside a tack room if you have an old smartphone knocking about? The only cost to me was getting a new sim card and topping it up! It's been great being able to check on our girls from home at night!
