Asked, answered

The nine we get every week.

Including the one about whether the cows know, which we have decided to answer seriously.

Watching

About watching.

The four we get most, in the order we get them.

The lambing shed is free to everybody, permanently. The other nine come with Belonging, and Belonging starts at Loitering, which is also free. So the honest answer is that nine of the ten cameras are behind a sign-up form rather than a payment.

Between eight and twenty seconds, depending on the camera. Removing it would cost real money to serve a hedge in real time, and nobody is betting on the outcome.

Yes. Every camera page is built phone-first and the streams are sized so a 4G connection can carry them. The cameras themselves are on 4G, so it would be poor form if it did not work.

No. There is no personal recording feature and no clipping tool. Clips get kept when several people ask for the same moment, and they go in Highlights.

The rig

About the cameras.

No microphone is fitted to any camera. A farm is a workplace and the people in shot are working; their conversations are not part of the offer, and recording them would drag this into a much heavier part of data protection law for no benefit.

No, at any tier. Every bracket is fixed and there is no control interface outside the farm office. A camera the public can move is a camera that eventually points somewhere it should not.

Because ten cameras share about nineteen megabits of upstream. 4K would let three of them look superb while the other seven failed.

Almost certainly not, and it is worth saying that plainly rather than pretending there is a welfare dimension to a camera that emits nothing. The cameras are silent, add no visible light, and the one pointed at a beehive has no infrared precisely because that would be an imposition.

Wondering

About the awkward bits.

In the yard and near the gate you may be, along with everybody else, and there is signage saying so. Continuous footage is overwritten after seven days and no face is indexed, matched or tagged. You can ask for footage of yourself within those seven days; afterwards there is genuinely nothing to give you.

No. Neither of the two public rights of way across this land is in any frame, and every angle was checked against the definitive map before the bracket went on.

Yes, and lambing is where that mostly happens. We do not cut away. If you would rather not, the hedgerow camera exists and nothing ever occurs on it.

In short

The four answers people actually came for.

No audio

Not fitted, on any camera.

No public control

Fixed brackets, at every tier.

One free camera

Lambing, permanently, for everybody.

Seven days

Then continuous footage is overwritten.

The honest bit

If a question is not answered here it is probably answered in the rules, and if it is not answered there either, Bothering Us goes to a person rather than a queue.

Ask something else.

Bothering Us. It goes to somebody who can answer it, and we would rather hear it than not.
