Installer fitting a camera inside a horse yard

Installation planning

Plan your yard cameras before installation starts

A good installation starts with the yard layout, the camera positions, the network route and the way owners will use the app.

Before installation

Good camera installation starts with the yard layout

Every yard is different. Older buildings, long cable runs, outdoor areas, thick walls and rural internet can all affect where cameras should go.

The Watch My Pony plan builder gives you a useful starting point. If anything looks unclear, we can help you work through the details before anything is installed.

Planning checklist

Questions to answer before cameras are installed

Which views matter most?

Stable doors, gateways, arenas, turnout areas and shared spaces may all need different camera positions.

How will the network reach?

Rural yards may need extra thought around cable runs, signal, buildings and where equipment can be safely placed.

Who should see each camera?

Owner access needs to be planned around horses and permissions, rather than one shared CCTV password.

What recordings are needed?

Think about how owners and staff may use recordings for reassurance, routine checks and looking back at important moments.
