AI HORSE MONITORING

One AI System.
Complete Horse Monitoring.

HORSE PROTECTOR AI combines health monitoring, birth monitoring, stable security and individual behaviour analysis in one system.

Alerts support your care; they do not replace a veterinary diagnosis.

INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS

Every Horse Is Different.
Its Monitoring Should Be Too.

HORSE PROTECTOR AI continuously analyses each horse’s individual behaviour, including eating, drinking, standing, lying and activity patterns. Monitor changes over time and recognise unusual patterns that may require attention.

Gain valuable insights into daily routines, overnight activity and potential changes in your horse’s well-being.

  • Eating behaviour

REFERENCE

“We have equipped our stable with the new HORSE PROTECTOR AI. One of the biggest advantages for us is that we can continue using our existing cameras and hardware. ACARiS turns the cameras we already have into an intelligent monitoring system, allowing us to monitor our horses professionally around the clock.

With our sport horses, health, safety and the early detection of unusual behaviour are particularly important. HORSE PROTECTOR AI gives us an additional level of security and the confidence that our horses are being monitored reliably even when we are not personally at the stable.

We also use the system throughout the foaling season. For us, the combination of reliable foaling monitoring, health monitoring and the ability to continue using our existing infrastructure makes it the best solution we have found so far. We are very happy with the system.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need new cameras?

No, provided your existing cameras are compatible with HORSE PROTECTOR AI. Support depends on the camera model and available video streams. An RTSP stream with H.264 encoding is required.

How long does installation take?

With your cameras and a computer – laptop, desktop computer or server – in place, installation takes approx. 20 minutes. The software can be downloaded and installed after signing up.

How many cameras can I use simultaneously?

The number depends on your computer’s processing capacity, camera configuration, network conditions, and active camera licences.

Do I need an additional ACARiS box?

No. HORSE PROTECTOR AI processes compatible camera streams on your own suitable Windows or Linux computer.

Can I cancel monthly?

Yes. The monthly subscription can be cancelled on a monthly basis according to the applicable subscription terms.

What happens after the seven-day trial?

The licence you chose when ordering starts after the 7 days and is charged for the first time then. Cancel before that in your customer account and you pay nothing. The free trial is available once per customer.

Does the AI run in the cloud?

Video analysis runs locally on your computer. Some services and notifications may require an internet connection.

Can I continue using existing HORSE PROTECTOR systems?

Existing installations do not automatically need to be replaced. Available shared monitoring and app capabilities depend on supported integration.

Which AI alerts are included in the monthly subscription?

Birth alerts and advanced colic alerts are not part of the monthly subscription. Both are included in the 12-month subscription and the Breeder Pass.
