For years folks told me I had a great location for a farmstand, but we didn’t do it because I thought the demographics of our drive-bys was poor (village that folks would be coming from has high crime rate).  We went ahead and put up a farmstand this year, making it self-serve.  We are losing close to 50%.

 

The farmstand does not have electricity or cable, but we do now have cell service.  Anyone know of a camera system that would work in those conditions. Needs to be motion-activated. Could be as “simple” as something that saves to a media card (which is what the ones I’ve found that don’t require cable hookup do), and I would check after the fact to see who didn’t pay, to something that would link to my cell phone and I could talk to folks (and see them???) when they come in.  Thinking have one by the cash box and one aimed at license plates.
