Viewing is done on Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.  On a computer it uses Internet Explorer or Edge in IE Mode.  This system does not automatically display on the TV.  You would have to mirror your phone or tablet to the TV with this system.  

Riverwind™ uses High Definition Analog Cameras for in or around your primary barn.  These cameras are the newest innovation in the CCTV industry.  All cameras are weatherproof and come equipped with Starlight infrared.  The cameras are effective both indoors and outside.  The Starlight Vision IR is a newer and more effective method of Infrared.  It gives a much clearer all over improvement in complete dark and limited light.  We use 1080p cameras on our barn system.  4K cameras are available, but we have found that they are complete overkill inside or around most barns and sometimes slow down streaming.

Specialty cameras such has Ultra HD, fisheye (130° and 180°) are available, but usually not needed for most situations.  Give us a call if you need anything besides our standard 103° field of view.

As mentioned above, the system is on demand.  It does not use any Internet bandwidth when nobody is looking at it.  If you're on limited data, a local log in will provide unlimited high speed viewing from home without using any. If you are concerned your internet speeds may not handle it (when you're not at home), go to google.com and search for "google speed test".  Run the test button and note your upload speed.  For optimal viewing, we prefer an upload speed of .6MB or higher- preferably 1MB or above.  At slower speeds, the connection will function, but it may show full image shots while the video is buffering. The phone/computer feeds have both high and lower quality streams for ease of use and help provide live action video when using poor Internet connections.

Many times your barn camera setup does not fall into any one prefab setup.  If you have special circumstances (such as remote building with no line of sight or it's miles and miles away), give us a call.  We'll see if what you have is workable or possible with today's technology.

For those with Internet coming through a router at the house, you're good to go.  For those using a Jetpack or Hotspot, you have to have ethernet LAN jacks for the equipment to plug in to.  We can recommend 3rd party equipment to make this possible (under $30).  Give us a call and we'll explain the process and we'll help with it's setup. 

If you have a barn or location more than 3 miles away or one so blocked from view that we can't provide a local antenna option to make it work, adding a 4G LTE Router or Jetpack to that location may make it possible.  There are options depending on your local wireless cell coverage that will connect the barn and avoid a year long contract with the cell provider.  Give us a call and we'll explain how this works.  You won't need the antenna portion for this system.
