Kenyan press reports describe livestock theft shifting towards slaughter in the pen and sale to butcheries, and police in some areas have ordered slaughterhouses to run working cameras. On a farm, cameras at the gate, over the pens and at the produce and feed store give you evidence and an early warning. Where there is no mains power or Wi-Fi, solar-powered 4G cameras and a battery-backed siren do the job.
Key takeaways
- Cameras on the gate, pens and store.
- Use solar and 4G cameras where there is no power.
- Add a siren and phone alerts.
- Good lighting and fencing help most.

06Frequently asked questions
Do I need Wi-Fi or electricity?
No. Solar-powered 4G cameras work without either, if there is mobile signal; check coverage on the farm first.
Can cameras stop cattle theft?
They do not stop a determined gang, but alerts, sirens and footage help you react and help police. Combine them with fencing, lighting and watchful neighbours.
How do I get alerts?
Choose cameras or a panel that sends phone alerts, and test it at night.
Is it worth recording all night?
Motion-triggered recording saves storage; make sure it triggers reliably on animals and people at your distances.
