All about the data options for your Horse Watch camera
Everything you need to know about the data options for your Horse Watch camera
Are you wondering how much data your Horse Watch camera consumes, how long a prepaid data package will last, or if a subscription is a better fit for you? In this blog, we'll explain everything step by step – so you can make the right choice.
How does data consumption work for a camera?
Your camera comes standard with a prepaid SIM card and 1GB of data. This may seem small at first, but it goes surprisingly far. For example, if you watch live camera footage for one minute 10 times a day, you consume about 10MB per day – or about 300MB per month. This means 1GB of data will last you over 100 days.
Important: Saving recordings does not consume data. Data is only consumed when you:
-
Watch live videos via the app
-
Play recordings in the app
Example calculation – 1 hour of live viewing per day
Daily consumption:
1 hour x 400MB = 400MB per day
Monthly consumption (30 days):
30 x 400MB = 12,000MB = 12GB per month
Overview of data consumption
| Daily usage time | Estimated monthly data consumption |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | approx. 300MB |
| 1 hour | approx. 12GB |
| 3 hours | approx. 36GB |
Do you use the camera intensively – e.g. for foal monitoring or frequent access throughout the day? Then we recommend a monthly subscription with 10GB or unlimited data volume. This way you avoid interruptions and always stay connected.
