TMPair the supported camera.
BarnPilot identifies the camera, joins it to the barn network, secures the private connection, and prepares monitoring.
Watcher camera profiles
One camera. Two ways to watch.
Choose Equine Watcher for horse-specific awareness or Farm Watch for quieter notifications about clearly visible people, vehicles, animals, and packages.
- Horse-specific Equine Watcher
- Broader Farm Watch awareness
- Normal BarnPilot notifications

How Watcher works
One connected view. Four clear steps.
Watcher connects a supported barn camera to the kind of awareness that belongs in that view.
Connect the right horses.
Assign one or several horses to the camera that can actually see their stall, aisle, or shared area.
Select the monitoring profile.
Use Equine Watcher for a horse-centered view or Farm Watch when the whole farm area matters.
Return to one monitoring workspace.
Open Camera Focus for connected views, current status, assigned horses, and the updates that need your attention.
Equine Watcher
Horse-specific when the horse is the reason for the camera.
Equine Watcher evaluates motion-triggered still images for visible routine horse care and the limited visible distress signs that can responsibly be assessed from one frame.
- Visible feeding and routine care activity
- Stall cleaning and activity around the assigned view
- Horse presence and visible position
- Responsible horse-specific observations from a still image
- Monitoring status and automatic reconnection after an interruption

Choose the right awareness
The profile changes what matters, not what your camera costs.
Choose a profile for each camera in Camera Settings. Sentinel remains available as a separate heightened overlay in either mode.
Keep the horse at the center.
Use horse-specific intelligence for visible care, horse presence, and limited responsible observations from a motion-triggered still image.
Watch the wider farm, with less noise.
Receive normal notifications for clearly visible people, vehicles, animals, and packages. Ambiguous general activity is suppressed.
Heighten either profile for 24 hours.
When one exact visible condition matters, write the instruction and activate a separate Sentinel session on the selected camera.
Explore Sentinel →Clear limitations
Watcher can only work with what one still image can show.
Watcher evaluates motion-triggered still images, not continuous video. Camera position, lighting, power, network availability, obstructions, and activity outside the frame can all affect what is visible.
- Equine Watcher does not diagnose illness, pain, injury, colic, or any medical condition
- Farm Watch does not identify people or animals
- Neither profile infers motion, duration, or intent from one still image
- Watcher does not replace barn staff, in-person observation, or emergency response
- Notifications and detection are not guaranteed
Important boundary
Watcher is an informational awareness tool for visible activity. It does not provide a diagnosis, guarantee detection, replace in-person care, or replace a licensed veterinarian.
Watcher pricing
Your first monitored camera is included with BarnPilot Pro.
Camera access, live view, and your choice of Equine Watcher or Farm Watch are included for one camera. Switching profiles does not change the camera price. Camera hardware is purchased separately. Apple confirms the final localized subscription price before purchase.

Watcher questions
What riders and owners should know.
What is the difference between Equine Watcher and Farm Watch?
Equine Watcher is horse-specific and focuses on visible horse care and responsible observations from a still image. Farm Watch is a quieter general-farm profile for clearly visible people, vehicles, animals, and packages.
Does Farm Watch send notifications?
Yes. Farm Watch can send normal notifications for clearly visible people, vehicles, animals, and packages while suppressing ambiguous general activity.
How long are Watcher images retained?
Notified Watcher images are currently retained for up to seven days. Images that do not generate an event are removed rather than kept as a continuous cloud history.
Can several horses use one Watcher camera?
Yes. Several horses can be assigned to one supported camera when they share the visible stall, aisle, or barn area.
What happens if the connection is interrupted?
Watcher is designed to reconnect automatically. Power, barn internet, and camera availability can still affect monitoring and alerts.
Is Watcher the same as Sentinel?
No. Equine Watcher and Farm Watch are ongoing camera profiles. Sentinel is a separate paid 24-hour overlay directed by one exact visible instruction.
Stay closer to the barn
Give routine horse monitoring a place inside the rest of the horse's story.
