System Overview
NIGHTWATCH ® is an equine distress and wellness monitoring system comprised of a smart halter ™ (“device”) and
an Application (“App”) that allows 24/7 access to actionable insight. Please read this user guide thoroughly to
ensure proper and appropriate use for maximum benefit to you and your horse.
REQUIREMENTS :
•
The NIGHTWATCH ® smart halter™ requires connectivity to a WiFi network (2.4 GHz) and/or access to a
3G/GSM cellular network (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc).
• The NIGHTWATCH ® mobile App requires iOS 13 or higher and Android 7.0 or higher.
NIGHTWATCH
®
Smart Halter
™
The NIGHTWATCH ® smart halter ™ acts as an early-warning system by alerting you and other careteam members
via text, call, and email to potential problems in your horse (eg, colic, foaling, being cast). This all-natural leather
breakaway halter houses ~
2.1 ounces of patented IoT technology that monitors your horse’s biometrics (ie, heart
rate, respiration) and behavior (ie, activity level) in real-time, works across cellular (ie, 3G/GSM) and WiFi (ie, 2.4
GHz) networks, offers GPS (ie, geolocation service), and leverages artificial intelligence/machine learning to adapt
to your horse over time for maximum precision and benefit.
NOTE : The NIGHTWATCH ® smart halter ™ acts as an early-warning system, which means you DO NOT need to
actively monitor your horse via the NIGHTWATCH ® App. Rather alerts will be generated whenever user-
defined thresholds are breached (refer to Alerts ).
Operating Conditions
The NIGHTWATCH ® smart halter ™ is water and dust-resistant and designed to operate in the same environmental
conditions as most cellular phones. The following are the recommended ambient temperature ranges for
operating and charging your device.
ACTIVITY AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
Charging 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Operating −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
Connectivity
The NIGHTWATCH ® smart halter ™ has embedded WiFi (ie, 2.4 GHz) and cellular radios (3G/GSM), which means
your device can operate on both WiFi and cellular networks in the US and Canada. If you do not have WiFi in
your barn, your device will require adequate cellular coverage in your area from AT&T, T-Mobile, or other
3G/GSM carriers (refer to
Assessing Your Cellular Signal ).
If you DO NOT have either WiFi or adequate cellular coverage, other options may still be available. Contact
