Where Should I Install a Camera in the Barn?

If you’ve made the decision to install barn cameras to keep a close eye on your horses, you may be wondering: “Where should I install a camera in the barn?”

Let’s take a look at some of the best places to put a horse-stable camera to help you get the most bang for your buck.

Indoor Barn Cameras

When placing new barn cameras for horses, there are a few things that you should first consider:

• The overall size of your barn
• The number of entrances and exits
• The number of stalls inside the barn
• Specific areas you would like to keep an eye on
• Areas within the barn that have the most foot traffic

Aisles and Entrances

Cameras placed to monitor the barn aisles and entrances can help you monitor the general comings and goings inside the barn.

This can be exceptionally useful for facilities that see people come and go every day; farriers, veterinarians, riding students, trainers, barn staff, and boarding clients are just a few examples of people that may visit the property on a daily basis. 

Installing a wireless horse stable camera in these areas can provide you with the ability to monitor all activity inside the barn remotely. In the case of an emergency or accident, you can access the HD recordings in seconds.

Horse Stall Cameras

While some barns can benefit from 2-3 high-placed wireless stable cameras that monitor the barn as a whole, you may prefer to have an individual camera to closely monitor each horse in their stall, as well.

This comes down to your needs and personal preference. You may want to consider installing cameras in each stall for the following reasons:

• Monitoring injuries or illness
• Monitoring broodmares close to foaling
• Providing your boarders with the ability to check in on their horses without visiting the barn
• Preventing horse theft
• Following up after an accident or emergency

Horse stall cameras also simply provide you with the ability to check in on your equine friends and see what they’re up to while you’re away from the barn. When you’re not able to pay your horse a visit and slip them a few treats, checking in on them with 24/7 live video is the next best thing.

Outdoor Barn Cameras

Placing horse security cameras outside the barn can provide you with the ability to monitor what goes on in the driveway, parking lot, paddocks, and corrals.

This can be useful for:

• Monitoring daily activities on the property
• Checking in on horses that are turned out near the barn
• Following up after an accident or emergency
