Have you ever thought about investing in a camera or video monitoring system for your barn or horse trailer? There are many great reasons to set up a horsecam on your property. If you can come up with the funds to initially purchase the camera, chances are that installing a camera in your horse barn or horse trailer is a decision that you won’t regret.

Peace of Mind

Having a camera installed so that you can see into your horse’s stall can give you great peace of mind, along with added convenience. Rather than needing to trek out to the barn when you wake up at 1 am with a feeling that something just isn’t right, you can rely on your camera monitoring system to reassure yourself that your horses are fine. If you have a horse with medical issues, or who frequently gets himself cast or into trouble, a horsecam can quickly prove itself useful. With a properly installed camera, you will have the convenience to check on your horse from the convenience of your house.

Additionally, having cameras in your barn is an excellent safety issue when it comes to thieves. The presence of cameras can help to deter potential robbery, which is always a concern when you close up the barn for the night. For additional safety, consider installing video cameras in the main portion of your barn, in your tack room, and in the barn entranceways.

Make Foaling Watch Easier

Have you heard of MareStare.com? This website, incredibly popular amongst horseowners, is a perfect example of how horsecams can make foaling watches easier. (Warning, the site is addicting!)

Having a horsecam installed can allow you to monitor a mare in foal from the convenience of your own home or from a barn apartment. Instead of sleeping on a cot outside the stall for weeks as the foaling date approaches, you can easily monitor your mare throughout both the day and night. Additionally, joining a site like MareStare can allow you to broadcast your mare’s monitoring feed to a community of viewers who will help alert you if anything goes wrong.

Advantages When Hauling

Do you ever find yourself wanting to pull over to check on your horses during a trip? Video monitoring systems designed specifically for horse trailers can allow you to monitor your horse without having to pull over and physically go back to check on the horse. You may find that installing a trailercam is particularly helpful when you’re hauling a nervous traveler, or when you’re hauling horses over long distances.

With the ever-advancing technology, our options to ensure our horses’ safety continue to grow. Horsecams have many advantages, and you’ll definitely want to think about putting them into your own barn.
