So we're pretty new to having farm critters and my wife and daughter are constantly wondering/worrying about our horse and goats and how/what they're doing. Due to the layout of our property the barn blocks about 70% of our view of the pastures. The horse has gotten out a few times and busted his way through my new fence already so whenever we look outside and don't see him we all get that little voice in the back of our minds suggesting that he's gotten out again. I'd like to install a camera on the barn which looks out over the pastures and can be monitored from the house. I'd also like a second one to put in the barn to monitor the animals when they're inside.
Our barn sits about 70yds from the house so a wireless setup would be ideal, I'd prefer not to have to trench in a cable if I can avoid it. Being able to pull up the cameras on the TV in our living room would be perfect. I do have electric service in the barn (thanks again Rookie!) so power isn't an issue. Something that works well in low light would be a bonus but isn't required, in the summer we put the horse out at night rather than during the day.
Is there anything out there that checks all the boxes? I think it would make for a good Christmas present for my wife and daughter if I can find something.
