Looking for information on the FETF100 livestock camera grant? This page explains the earlier camera for monitoring livestock item that appeared on previous English Animal Health and Welfare grant lists.
The historic FETF100 item was aimed at a single livestock monitoring camera that met a strict minimum specification. It was not a full farm CCTV grant and it did not fund a complete multi-camera security system.
What the historic FETF100 camera item covered
The earlier FETF100 livestock camera item was a contribution towards an individual camera for monitoring livestock. It sat under the English Animal Health and Welfare grant theme and was not the same thing as a grant for a full farm CCTV system.

Zoom and image quality
The camera had to have a minimum zoom of 16x, minimum 1080 pixel images, and compatibility with an online viewing app.
What this meant in practice
In practice, the historic FETF100 item was a contribution towards a single livestock monitoring camera. It did not cover the wider equipment, labour, networking, cabling and full-site coverage that most farms actually need.
One camera item, not a full system
The grant item was for the qualifying livestock camera itself, not for a complete farm CCTV package.
Most farms need more than that
Most farms want wider visibility across sheds, yards, entrances, machinery areas and fuel tanks as well.
Practical design still matters
The real-world value still comes from survey work, sensible positioning, stable viewing and a properly designed overall setup.

Current position on English grant rounds
The general FETF 2025 scheme opened on 29 May 2025 and closed at midday on 10 July 2025. Farmers should always check the latest official guidance for the current live round rather than assuming an older FETF100 livestock camera item is still available.
1
Check the live guidance
Do not assume old item codes still exist in the current round.
2
Survey the farm properly
Work out what the site actually needs in practice, not just what one item code used to fund.
3
Build the right solution
A useful farm camera system is about layout, coverage, reliability and real-world usability.
Important clarity for farmers
This is where a lot of confusion starts. A livestock camera grant item is not the same thing as a full farm CCTV grant.
What old FETF100 was for
- A qualifying livestock monitoring camera item
- A strict minimum camera specification
- A contribution towards the item itself
What it was not
- Not a blanket grant for all farm CCTV
- Not a full site security package
- Not a guarantee that the same code exists in later rounds
Critical warning
- Do not assume older item codes remain live
- Do not rely on old grant pages without checking GOV.UK
- Do not treat a single camera item as a full CCTV grant
Important
Dyfed CCTV can help with the survey, quote, design and installation, but current item codes, eligibility rules, application windows and claim conditions are all set by the official English government guidance. Always check the live published documents before ordering equipment or scheduling installation.
Why choose Dyfed CCTV for an English farm camera project?
Farm camera systems need to work in the real world, not just look good on paper. We understand the difference between a camera that technically exists and a system that is actually useful during stock checks, shed visibility, yard oversight and day-to-day farm routines.
