How long does the battery last?

What resolution and image quality does the camera offer?

In which European countries does the data SIM card work?
The included SIM card uses the KPN (roaming) network and works in the following countries:
AUSTRIA | BELGIUM | BULGARIA | CROATIA | CYPRUS | CZECH REPUBLIC | DENMARK | ESTONIA | FINLAND | FRANCE | FRENCH POLYNESIA | GERMANY | GREECE | HUNGARY | ICELAND | IRELAND | ITALY | LATVIA | LIECHTENSTEIN | LITHUANIA | LUXEMBOURG | MALTA | NETHERLANDS | NORWAY | POLAND | PORTUGAL | RÉUNION | ROMANIA | SLOVAKIA | SLOVENIA | SPAIN | SWEDEN | SWITZERLAND | UNITED KINGDOM
How much data does the camera use during live monitoring?
On average, one minute of live viewing uses about 1MB of data. Exact usage depends on the resolution and usage patterns.
Your package includes 1 gigabyte of data. For example, if you view your horse live for one minute 10 times per day, you would use about 10MB daily, totaling around 300MB for a month. With the 1GB bundle, you could watch your horse live for one minute 10 times daily for about 100 days before using up your data bundle. If your credit runs out, you can easily top it up online to keep enjoying live images of your horse.
Viewing 10 times per day for one minute is generally quite a lot, so if you only use the camera at events, your data bundle will last a long time.
If you use the camera for foal monitoring and therefore watch frequently or want to save all movements, be aware that the camera constantly uses data (each time it records or when you watch). Watching 24/7 would use approximately 250MB per day, or around 7.5GB per month. In such cases, we recommend purchasing a data plan, available via the link to data subscriptions with various affordable options.
Are there costs associated with the camera's data usage?
The camera comes with a prepaid 4G SIM card with data credit included. After using up the credit, you can top it up via the management portal.
