The problem

Checking on things shouldn't take half a day

If keeping an eye on the place means a truck, a tank gauge, and a drive past every gate — this is built for you.

The daily drive

Hours and fuel spent driving out to check water tanks and gates — every day, in every season.

Rising rural theft

Livestock, equipment, and fuel theft are on the rise. Kansas now treats livestock theft as a felony — monitoring both deters theft and documents it.

Too remote for “smart” gadgets

Ordinary smart security products need good cell coverage to work at all. Most rural properties don’t have it — ours are built for exactly that.

The system

Three tiers that stack

Tiers stack — they’re building blocks, not either/or. A full-video customer still uses Tier 1 sensors in remote pastures.

Tier 1

Property Sensors

Wireless long-range sensors for the things you drive out to check.

Water and tank levels, gate open-closed status, and motion
Batteries last 5–10 years — no charging
Sensors work even where there’s no cell signal — only one small gateway on the property needs a connection
Ideal for far pastures and dead zones

Tier 2

Event Cameras

Solar-powered cameras that tell you when something happens.

Sends photos and short video clips when motion is detected
Solar-powered with a cellular connection — no wiring to run
Made for gates, equipment yards, and entrances

Tier 3

Full Video & Networking

Complete camera coverage with recording you own.

Complete camera systems with on-site recording
Wireless links across the whole property
Solar-powered camera poles
No per-camera license fees — you own the equipment

Plans are priced per site — not per sensor — so adding sensors never raises your monthly bill tier by surprise. Contact us for a quote.

Why Lockwood

Why folks choose it

Works in dead zones

Competing products need cell coverage at every sensor. Ours need it at one point on the property.

One dashboard, one bill

No juggling separate apps and subscriptions for water, cameras, and fuel.

Locally installed and supported

Installed and backed by Lockwood — not a mail-order gadget with an overseas call center.

You own your equipment

No cloud lock-in, no per-device subscription stacking.

Cost-share help

USDA EQIP programs can cover 50–75% of livestock water monitoring hardware for eligible producers — we help you navigate the application.
