A lot has happened to animal husbandry in the last 70 years and the rate at which change happens only increases. As an agriculturalist, you want to keep up with the times and modernise your farm to minimise your manual labour.

At Crodeon we developed a system to help make your livestock farm smarter: Reporter. Reporter is a sensor device that takes live measurements, available for you to look at 24/7. The sensor module even has an alarm feature that sends alarm notifications to your phone.

Discover how Crodeon can help improve your farm using Reporter for Smart Livestock.

Reporter on a brick wall

How Crodeon makes livestock monitoring smarter

Crodeon developed Reporter, a sensor module for remote monitoring, with the intent to make animal health monitoring accessible to anyone.

Reporter has 4 connectors that let you connect up to 4 sensors from our collection. Any sensor combination works!

Monitor your chicken coop or pigsty for heat stress and CO2 poisoning. Measure the water consumption or keep an eye on the correct lux levels. Check whether the barn door is closed or if your water tank is nearly empty.

Our barn monitoring system will keep you up to date!

Reporter: the easy livestock monitoring system

Why do I need a farm alarm?

Farm alarms are used to keep a close eye on livestock health and will alert you when something is happening in your farm. These specialised alarms for farms measure and monitor temperature and CO2 levels to keep your animals safe.

Reporter is a farm alarm system made easy. At Crodeon it's our mission to make remote monitoring accessible to anyone, even when you're not a technician.

Discover the newest generation of farm alarm systems and take your step towards smart livestock farming!

What parameters does the livestock monitoring system measure?

Most people choose to measure and monitor temperature and CO2, Reporter however is easily customisable to fit your personal needs. The following sensors might interest you:

  • RH sensor: measure temperature and humidity
  • CO2 sensor: measure CO2 in ppm along with temperature and humidity
  • Pressure sensor: check if your water pipes are leak free
  • submersible level sensor: check the water level in your well to keep an eye on drinking water reserves
  • limit switch: know if the barn door is open, even when you're not in the vicinity

Choose the sensors that fit your needs and create the remote farm monitoring system of your dreams.

How do I install my animal monitoring system?

The great thing about Reporter is that you don't have to be a technician to easily install & set up your own animal monitoring.

Reporter works plug & play, which means that you just have to plug your sensors into the sensor module using the M12 connectors. No technical skills required!

All measurement settings are configured in the Crodeon Dashboard, which is as straight forward and intuitive as can be.

Animal health monitoring was never this easy!

How does Crodeon's barn alarm alert you?

Reporter will send alarm notifications to your email or phone (text or voice call) to alert you about the conditions surrounding your livestock.

This makes Reporter unique in the realm of barn alarm systems as you'll be alerted even when you're not in or near the barn itself.
