Gary Burns from Cheshire based EPG said the new CCTV system aimed stop people stealing farm equipment that they have called 'farms fighting back'.
He said: “It is a CCTV system that will activate immediately if anybody goes on site but it only detects the body movements of a human being so it stops false alarms with cattle, sheep, or dogs, only people.
“It also sends the farmer a live full colour CCTV image even at night."
he said rural crime had become a 'massive problem' in the region.
