“We find the cameras extremely useful during flood events , having eyes on the actual flood  locations as well as having access to the flood gauges for the same locations , enables us to accurately monitor the situation , without tying up valuable human resource which is required elsewhere”

“Farson Digital's network of live cameras enable me to look out for and observe flash flood events known as 'walls of water' across steep British catchments. The cameras enable colleagues and I to gain an understanding of how rapid the rate of rise of the river was, something which a river level recorder providing a hydrograph at 15-minute intervals is limited in achieving - this is particularly important for engaging with non-technical members of the public.”

"Our team have been working with Farson digital for over 10 years and we have 4 live river cams along the river Deveron. The live cams have been an excellent resource for local and visiting anglers, flood and drought monitoring and for planning in-river works."  

“Farson Digital webcams are a great way for the Trust and river users, especially our anglers who use our Angling Passport mobile app, to check what the river conditions are like. Whilst we can monitor the health of our waterways there is nothing like seeing what the live flows are doing!”

“Farson Digital Water Cams are a great way to engage people with rivers all year round. Working with Glyn to set up a network of cameras on rivers around the Forth has helped us engage with communities, but it has also been a useful resource for our project delivery, letting us check water heights before we head out. We would thoroughly recommend Farson Digital Water Cams as an engagement tool and a fieldwork/project delivery tool.”

“Tees Rivers Trust have been working with Farson Digital since 2010 and have cameras at 2 locations on the Tees. Aside from providing consistently great images and support on the rare occasions when problems arise with hardware, the FD network has helped immensely with raising awareness about the Trust' work by consistently traffic towards our website, including regular international enquiries.”

“As a Multiple Academy Trust responsible for a primary school in Devon, near a tributary that frequently floods, we partnered with Farson Digital to install a camera for enhanced remote monitoring. The system has performed exceptionally well and is regularly utilised by the community and the Trust estates team. Farson Digital promptly addresses any technical issues that arise, which provides us with piece of mind whenever inclement weather occurs.”

‘’South West Lakes Trust has worked with Farson Digital for 14 years now with webcams at numerous sites. They have always provided a reliable service making sure our webcams are always online with friendly and helpful assistance along the way.’’

'The real-time imagery that Farson Digital's cameras provide are a really valuable tool for teaching, research and outreach in our department. From providing an archive of changes in river flow that students can view and discuss, to research on changes to river geomorphology, in-stream vegetation and woody debris, to showing students who may be interested in studying in Aberystwyth the kinds of environments that are on our doorstep the platform is dependable, accessible and engaging. The technical and logistical support and guidance from the team is also excellent.'

“Farson Digital combine deep technical knowledge of their products and services with a practical inclination to get the job done.  Basically, we don’t have to worry about any of the details of how or when, we can just get on with using the results of their camera systems – in our case, with University of Hull, to study river levels day and night.”

"The web cam allows us to plan the optimum time to go fishing. It gives us a reliable service that enables us to plan effectively for both fishing and for our river maintenance activities; it avoids club members having to drive miles only to find that the river is out of condition. We also enjoy watching a resident heron at his own fishing activities!"

“For over a decade Farson was the place to go for live flood images during incident response in my various roles at the Environment Agency. It’s now my go to place to check how rivers are responding across the country to our changing climate. A great resource!”

“We knew that members who live away from the river were at a disadvantage as they could not see the river every day, meaning they had to guess when the sea trout were likely to be active.  We solved this by installing Farson – it allows everyone to see the height and, crucially, colour of the river, updated every 10 seconds.  Farson were imaginative about camera placement and connection in a remote spot and a pleasure to deal with.  Thanks guys!”

Farson’s constant monitoring of their camera network ensures that any ‘blimps’ are recognised and   dealt with quickly; usually before we are even aware of a problem. Their customer communication has been first class – they have always kept us informed if  they have found and rectified an issue or just to let us know they will be on site to carry out   maintenance.   We would recommend Farson to any organisation or individual considering installing this sort of equipment. 

“Due to their coverage over the UK and Ireland, Advertising with Farson's has opened a whole new customer base to us. Wish I had done it sooner. Thanks’ Farson!”

'I have worked with Glyn Howells, and his company Farson Digital Ltd for the past 12 years. Initially I supported and advised Farson with the selection of watercam sites across Ireland and Northern Ireland.  My work covers a broad range of fisheries / environmental research, ecological assessment and the provision of training programmes for both local communities and angling groups.’The easily accessible, comprehensive and regularly updated information provided by the webcams and on the Farson website, has proven invaluable to both myself and my client base. I have no hesitation in recommending to you both Glyn and his innovative company.'
