Security Solutions for Farms and Rural Businesses

Operating a farm or rural business comes with its own set of challenges, and security is high on that list. At FirstEye, we’ve worked with clients across Yorkshire and the North of England for over 22 years, and we understand the unique risks faced by properties in remote or open locations.

Farms and rural premises are often spread over large areas, with multiple access points, outbuildings, and valuable machinery left outside or stored in unsecured buildings. These factors can make them attractive targets for theft and vandalism. That’s why we offer practical, reliable systems to help secure your property and give you better control over access and visibility.

CCTV for Peace of Mind

A well-planned CCTV system acts as a strong deterrent while also giving you the ability to monitor activity, whether you’re on-site or not. We design systems to suit the layout of your property, installing cameras where they’re most effective – from machinery sheds and storage barns to entrances and perimeters. With remote monitoring via smartphone or computer, you can keep an eye on things from anywhere.

Intruder Alarms and Access Control

For buildings that house valuable stock or equipment, we recommend installing intruder alarms. These can be set up with multi-user access, which is particularly helpful for sites where several people might need entry at different times. Our access control systems, including keypads and intercoms, allow you to manage who comes and goes. This is especially useful for areas that need to be restricted to staff or authorised visitors only.

Physical Security – Bollards and Barriers

Farm entrances, private roads, and parking areas can be better protected with vehicle barriers or bollards. These act as both a visual and physical deterrent to unauthorised entry. We supply and install everything from fold-down and removable bollards to automated barriers and retractable posts. Our team will recommend the most suitable options depending on your layout and needs.

Lighting that Works for You

Security lighting is another simple but highly effective way to protect your rural business. Motion-activated LED lights not only help deter intruders but also provide better visibility for workers during early mornings or late evenings. Whether you need lights around access routes, yards, or doorways, we’ll install a setup that supports your day-to-day use and improves safety.
