TetherX for Agriculture // FARMS // RURAL ESTATES // EQUESTRIAN
Cameras that keep recording where the broadband doesn't reach.
A farm is the worst place in the country for a connection and the easiest place to lose a tractor, a GPS unit or a quad. The TetherBox records locally at the barn and the gate, rides over 4G, and syncs only what matters when the link is up. Lane ANPR flags an unknown vehicle touring the property and audio talkdown moves a thief on - so you get the alert that counts, not woken for a deer.
Edge recording on the TetherBox - footage survives the broadband a farm rarely has.
4G uplink and solar camera points for barns and gates miles from the farmhouse.
One login across a scattered estate of yards, outbuildings and let cottages.
Quote routed direct to a TetherX-accredited local installer who knows rural sites. No central sales call.

Built for the sites broadband forgot.
A farm is not a high-street shop with a fibre line and a server cupboard. It is a yard, three barns, a lane and a string of outbuildings spread over hundreds of acres, half of them on a 4G signal and a solar panel. TetherX is built around that - record at the edge, sync what matters, watch it all from one login.
Edge recording that survives the line
The TetherBox records locally at the barn and the yard, so a dropped broadband line or a 4G signal that comes and goes never costs you footage. When the link is up it syncs the clips and events that matter - not a round-the-clock upload your rural connection could never carry.
4G uplink and solar camera points
Where there is no mains and no broadband, a solar / battery camera point on a 4G uplink covers the remote gate, the field entrance or the fuel store. The footage still lands on the same dashboard as the yard cameras wired into the farmhouse.
Lane ANPR on the long drive
A plate read on the farm lane and the yard gate flags an unknown vehicle touring the property before it reaches the machinery. Whitelist the vet, the feed lorry and the contractor; flag the van that has driven past three nights running.
Remote-barn and outbuilding alerts
After-hours motion at a machinery barn or an outbuilding miles from the farmhouse pings your phone with the clip attached - not a tripwire that fires on every fox. Verified alerts so you act on the ones that are people, plant or livestock.
Record at the edge. Sync what matters. Watch from anywhere.
The hard part of farm CCTV was never the camera - it was getting the footage off a site with no line. TetherX keeps the recording on the ground and lifts only the clips and events you need to see, so a poor rural connection stops being the reason you have nothing when a tractor goes.
Edge-first, not cloud-only
The TetherBox holds the recording locally at the barn or yard. A broadband outage, a flat 4G patch or a storm that takes the line out never leaves a gap - the footage is on the ground, ready to sync the moment the link returns.
Solar points over 4G
No mains at the field gate or the fuel store? A solar / battery camera point on a 4G uplink covers it and reports into the same login as the wired yard cameras. The remote barn half a mile out is no longer a blind spot.
Lane ANPR and remote alerts
A plate read on the drive and verified after-hours motion at the outbuildings flag the unknown van and the person at the machinery - with audio talkdown to move them on - so you get the alert that counts and sleep through the deer.
From the lambing shed to the let cottage
TetherX is open by design: the yard and barn cameras you already paid for keep working, and you keep one platform across every building on the estate - not a recorder login per shed and a drive round to check each one.
Keep The Yard And Barn Cameras You Already Have
TetherX is open by design. The TetherBox bridge connects to 1,000+ integrations and any ONVIF device, so the cameras already on the yard, the barn and the grain store keep working. No rip-and-replace, no capital write-off on kit that is doing its job. Add cloud, AI, lane ANPR and audio talkdown to the cameras you already own.
- Works with the cameras already fitted - 1,000+ integrations and ONVIF
- TetherBox bridge installs in 5 min and rides over 4G where there is no broadband
- Recording survives the broadband a farm rarely has - edge-first, sync what matters
One Login Across A Scattered Estate
A rural estate is not one building - it is a home farm, three let cottages, an equestrian yard, a string of barns and a fuel store spread over the holding. TetherX puts every camera, every solar point and every 4G barn on one map. The estate manager sees the whole holding; a tenant sees only their cottage; the stockman sees the lambing shed. Same dashboard, scoped per building.
- Map view across barns, yards, gates and let cottages - colour-coded by health
- Per-building scope - tenants, stockmen and contractors see only what they should
- Livestock and lambing-shed monitoring on the same login as the yard and lane
The questions after the rural-crime call
Once you have lost a tractor, a GPS unit or a load of red diesel, the rest of the questions are always the same: how do I find the clip, how do I stop the false alerts, who moves the thief on at 2am, where does the footage live with no line, and can the police and the NFU actually use what I send them.
Find a clip without scrubbing all night
Smart video search lets you filter every barn, gate and field camera by object, colour, zone and time - a white vehicle on the machinery yard after midnight - instead of scrubbing a night of footage on a DVR. Get the clip back in seconds, with the plate read and the timestamp already attached for the police.
Verified alerts, not woken for a deer
On-device AI classifies people, vehicles and animals, so a fox crossing the yard or a deer in the field does not ping your phone at 3am. The result is up to 90% fewer false alerts - you act on the van at the fuel store and the person at the barn, and sleep through the wildlife.
Audio talkdown to move a thief on
Trigger a live or recorded announcement through compatible IP speakers - "you are on private farmland, this is being recorded" - the moment after-hours motion fires at the machinery barn or the fuel store. Most leave at the challenge; you are not driving across the holding in the dark to confront them.
Footage that lives on the ground, syncs over 4G
The TetherBox records locally at the barn and the yard, so no broadband and a patchy 4G signal never cost you footage. Critical clips and the plate reads that matter sync to UK-region cloud when the link is up. AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit; cloud infrastructure is ISO 27001 / SOC 2 attested at the infra level via Wasabi.
Evidence the police and NFU can use
Fly-tipping, hare-coursing, trespass and plant theft all become a signed, time-bounded link the rural-crime team or the NFU can open - no USB stick, no chain-of-custody argument. The audit log records every view and share, and the clip reaches them 90% faster than driving the recorder to the station.
Same view in the cab, the kitchen and the yard
In the tractor cab, on the laptop at the kitchen table, on the phone halfway up the lane - same login, same scope, same alerts. The estate manager sees the whole holding; a tenant or stockman sees only their building. No VPN per barn, no separate app per recorder.
Quietly at work on working farms and rural estates such as Greenvale Farm and Holwell Farm.
