Everything You Need to Know About Our Data Options for Your Horse Watch Camera
Curious about how data usage works with your Horse Watch camera? How long a prepaid bundle lasts, or whether a subscription might suit you better? In this blog, we’ll explain everything clearly so you can make the right choice with confidence.
How Does Data Usage Work With a Camera?
Each camera comes with a prepaid SIM card and 1GB of data. That may not sound like a lot, but you’d be surprised how far it goes. For example: if you check your camera 10 times a day for one minute, you’ll use about 10MB per day — or 300MB per month. That means your 1GB bundle can last up to 100 days.
Important: saving footage does not use data. You only use data when you:
-
Watch live video via the app
-
Replay footage via the app
Example – 1 hour of live viewing per day
Daily usage:
1 hour x 400MB = 400MB per day
Monthly usage (30 days):
30 x 400MB = 12,000MB = 12GB per month
Data usage summary
| Daily viewing time | Approx. monthly data usage |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | ± 300MB |
| 1 hour | ± 12GB |
| 3 hours | ± 36GB |
If you use your camera intensively — for example, to monitor a foaling mare or check in frequently throughout the day — we recommend a monthly subscription of 10GB or unlimited data. That way, you avoid interruptions and stay connected without worry.
