I always do not believe installing cctv in farm. The reason for most farmers to install cctv is because of thief and to observe swftlets in their farms from their homes..
.
.
For thief reason it would not help much if you live far away from your farm by the time you reach your farm the burglars could have left. Secondly if you installed the cctv inside the farm especially the infra type you wouldn’t see clearly as the speed of the flying swiftlets is too fast for the infra camera to capture. Most of the time you would only see fast moving shadows. To observe their flying patterns it is totally out of the question.
.
.
Thru my experiences of having visited many farms I do reckon some problems caused by this infra type cctv which I would like to share with all readers.
.
.
I had encountered farm's owners complaining about birds don't fly into their farms as many as before. Some even complained totally no birds. For newly set up farms their complains were, after the sound was switched on swiftlets dare not go in and so on.........
.
( The Red eye effects of an Owl. Some may argue that only flash light from Camera would create this effects. But I wouldn't want take the risk after invested few hundred thousand. Do you?)
.
.After observing and with head cracking investigation I discovered that the cctv causes more harm than good. Well we can't escape the law of nature, what is good for one thing definitely is bad for other. Anything in this world that has its advantages is also associated with disadvantages.
.
.
The infra type camera eye which have many small red light bulbs when its being switched on is the problem. In dark the red coloured bulbs imitates the eye of the predators. If the camera eye is being fixed at the roving it would be like a predator ambushing at the roving waiting for the birds to come in. This red light bulbs resembles the eye of predators.
.
.By instinct when swiftlets fly into the entrance hole will instantly fly out to prevent from being attacked. The red light bulbs resemble the eyes of Owl, Eagle,etc. This definitely affects the growth of the Bird house.
.
.For long I do not buy the idea of having cctv in farm. This is the main reason for it. For thief one could always install an alarm system. For your information all my farms have got no cctv but with alarm system.. It has got nothing to do with cost saving. Does it serves any purposes or does it do harm or good? In this cctv cases it causes more harms than good.
.
.
Well of course some may argue about this. Some may even say that there are many successful farms that have cctv installed..
.
Your farm belongs to you not them. So who will be sorry when your farm failed? You or them? So do you want to take the risk?
.
.It is all Up to you..
.
.Good Luck.

我總是不相信在燕屋農場安裝里cctv。 多数燕屋農場的屋主安裝cctv的原因是由於 竊賊和可以在他們的家觀察他們燕屋農場里的燕子swftlets。 對于竊賊的原因它是 不會有太大的幫助，如果您离您的燕屋農場很遠從居，當您到達的時候, 賊可能離開 的您的燕屋農場。 其次， 如果您安裝了cctv在燕屋農場裡面, 您是不會明顯地看見 的，因為燕子飛行的速度太快速, 在照相機下不可能奪取。 多数时间您只會看見快行陰影。 要觀察他們的飛行樣式它是完全不可能的。 通过我參觀燕屋農場的許多經驗, 我希望我與所有讀者在下分享cctv可造成的有些問題。我遇到了燕屋農場的屋主抱怨 燕子不在飛行到他們的燕屋農場里和以前一样多。 甚而一些抱怨完全沒有燕子。 有些 新的燕屋農場的抱怨是，当开了聲音之後, 燕子不敢飛进來 (貓頭鷹的眼睛是紅色的。 一些也許争辩说，從照相機的僅一刹那光將創造此作用。 但是我是不敢冒险, 尤其是投資了数十萬之後。 您敢？) 在觀察和绞尽脑汁的調查以后, 我發現cctv害處比好處 更多。 我們是无法逃避自然规律，首先, 什麼是对一些有益明確地是对其他无益的。 任何一样东西在這個世界上, 有它的好處也有它的缺點, 是联系在一起的。 問題是 當它开动了之后, 在infra類型的照相機有許多小红灯電燈泡。 在黑暗里, 紅色電燈 泡仿效掠食性動物的眼睛。 如果照相機眼睛是固定的在入口, 它是像一只食肉動物 伏擊在等待燕子的归来。 這红灯電燈泡類似掠食性動物的眼睛。 由天性， 當燕子 飛行到入口时, 立即將飛行防止被攻擊。 红色電燈泡類似貓頭鷹、 老鷹等等的眼睛。 這明確地影響燕子的成長。對于我久久不買cctv在燕屋農場里的想法。 這是它的主 要原因。 對于竊賊總是可能安裝报警系统。我所有的燕屋農場是沒有cctv， 但是有 报警系统。 它是與节省成本无关。 它是否符合任何的目的或它只是带来好處或 害處？裝了這個cctv危害比好處更多。 當然, 一些也許辨证。 一些也許說許多成功 的燕屋農場安裝了cctv的。 您的燕屋農場屬於您不是他們的。 因此， 當您的農場 发生了故障，誰將是抱歉？ 您或他們？ 因此您是否想要冒险？ 它是全部由您決定。 祝您好运。
