Our pole building is pretty close to the house, only about 150 feet. Our ewes aren't due for about three weeks, but it's nice to have it set up early this year.Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664957352385337093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562945.post-66436524548109223452009-03-24T14:22:00.000-05:002009-03-24T14:22:00.000-05:00That's fab.

Does it matter how far it is from the pasture or barn to the house where the receiver is?Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562945.post-60111551840133861802009-03-14T21:34:00.000-05:002009-03-14T21:34:00.000-05:00Thanks Franna!

Last year most of the ewes lambed in a certain corner of the barn so I could watch without disturbing them. But one lambed outside and surprised me. The Pipestone unit looks pretty nice.Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664957352385337093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562945.post-67815130728433032022009-03-13T16:47:00.000-05:002009-03-13T16:47:00.000-05:00We love our lamb cam (ewe tube is so good!).

We started with a little Sylvania wireless security camera (less than $100 for 2 cameras and receiver) off ebay, then upgraded a couple years ago to a bigger unit from Pipestone. We were hoping to put it online, but didn't get all the bugs worked out.<BR/>Congrats on the job!<BR/>- FrannaFrannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251158925458606105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562945.post-10157251657546035422009-03-13T13:01:00.000-05:002009-03-13T13:01:00.000-05:00I got it at WalMart.com last year.

It's quite interesting watching their interactions during the night. <BR/>How it works: there's a camera that we set up and plug in out in the barn and a there's little receiver that we keep on the TV and plug in when we want to watch the sheep, we just have to connect the receiver cords to the white and yellow TV jacks, it's very simple. I also used it during the summer to monitor live traps at night. <BR/>But now I'm thinking I should get one that connects to the computer so if I'm on the road taking census numbers, I could maybe check on the ewes at home in the barn...Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664957352385337093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562945.post-62637700899912419772009-03-13T12:50:00.000-05:002009-03-13T12:50:00.000-05:00Wow, love the ewe tube.
