Wireless Monitoring of Vineyards and Orchards - Security for Your Winery

By Bryan Jaime Del Valle


The demand of wine increases all over the world every year and planting of new vineyards is becoming known and lucrative. Wine producers are sometimes having a hard time increasing their production because of the number of grapes. Aside from the production capacity, the security of vineyards and orchards is another problem.

Vineyards and orchards are now targets or burglars too. The ringing alarm system can be useful but not enough to monitor and police considers this a low priority because the culprit might just be your cat or the wind instead of a burglar.

You probably heard already of the innovation on alarms for vineyards or alarms for orchards and these are beneficial as they were designed for vineyards and orchards. Alert systems for vineyards or alert systems for orchards should monitor also your driveways and gateways even if your home is a kilometre away from the vineyard.

If you want to increase the production at your cellar door or tasting room and offer your customers excellent service, you need to develop your facilities such as the security. You should choose a security feature where you can work while you are out of the vineyard yet know when someone has arrived.

A Parabeam is one of the newest technologies used for security, which automatically alerts you for visitors or vehicles that passed through the detection beam.

This means you will not only receive alerts of trespassing individuals on your orchard or vineyard but will be alerted of anyone that arrives.

There is one problem among monitoring systems that relies on radio signals. In the orchard or vineyard, your wireless monitoring system gets affected with the number of plants. During the wet season, the moisture on the plants restricts the range of wireless equipment and as a result, your orchard will not be surely secured from burglars.

On the other hand, there is a developed Parabeam as the answer to this problem. You can monitor your orchard while you are at home.

Parabeam Extended is one of the new systems designed with MegaBeam Antenna to increase the wireless radio range. Simultaneously, the radio signal can go beyond the tree-line. It could be the best solution for you to track visitors as they arrive at your cellar door.

Another advantage of using the Parabeam alert systems for vineyards is its ability to send SMS alerts or phone call to your mobile with the help of MegaBeam Antenna and POCSAG Pager. The POCSAG Paging System allows you to receive alerts while you are out of the location or away from the Base Receiver and has a range of 1 km.

When you are searching for wireless monitoring of orchards or vineyards, the Parabeam is the best choice since they have wireless gate alarms and driveway alarms too. Apart from alerting you whenever visitors or vehicles pass through the beam, the device eliminates false alarms. Surely, this is one monitoring device that can outlast other products in the market.
