Hyndsight Horse Trailer Monitor

Do I really need a trailer camera to monitor my horses while driving?

No matter how calm your horses are, there are always too many factors that can catch your horses off-guard during trailering , many of which can result serious injury. We have all heard the stories: a horse falls under the divider, a front hoof gets caught in the hay net, a trailer gate that wasn’t closed completely… A simple monitoring system can alert the driver to pullover and rescue their horses from further trouble.

The possible dangers our horses may encounter during a trip are stressful enough, but as people who love our horses, we wonder how they’re doing in the trailer every time we step on the brake. We might hear a bang, so we want to stop and check. We might have driven over a pot hole, so we want to stop and check. In reality, there are miles to go, and it’s impractical to stop at every traffic light and run back there to see how they are doing. We worry so much about their well -being that concentrating on driving is difficult. With a trailer camera, you will know exactly how they are doing and you can drive peacefully.

Having a trailer monitoring system while trailering our horses is the smart move to make and the right thing to do.

Wired or Wireless?? There are many monitoring systems on the market. We can separate them into two basic groups, wired and wireless systems. Each has its pros and cons.

Wired system –

Pros – Almost guaranteed reception

Cons- - Expensive, with time consuming installation After a while, the connector and cables tend to short-circuit and cease to work. The repair job can be costly. After installation, the system will be fixed in the truck or trailer and can’t be moved or used for another job.

Wireless system –

Pros- Less expensive. Easy setup. Parts can be replaced easily. In some cases, parts from different brands are compatible with each other. Some brands can be used as a barn cam or a surveillance camera.

Cons – Reception problems with many of the brands.

Recommendation

Is It True That Hyndsight Can Help My Horse Business and Is Tax Deductible For Businesses? Hyndsight can and certainly Should be used for your horse business! Horse breeders and transporters alike would benefit from having a Hyndsight. When someone comes to you to watch their mare for foaling or to haul their horse across the country, they will love that you are a step above others and can keep an eye on their animal. Veterinarians will also benefit from the Hyndsight system… at only $499 any business can benefit from the peace of mind— and added client satisfaction— that Hyndsight will bring!

But I See Competitor Trailer/ Barn Cameras For As Little As $99? Yes, and they know what they are worth— and so do we! There is NO Comparison when you see the systems side by side. Hyndsight is Truly Wire-Free and can transmit a good signal up to 300 feet— or more! Remember, you can pair up to 4 cameras with one monitor, and each camera can be about 300 feet from the monitor, meaning you can span some serious distance with Hyndsight!

The Wireless Solution Hyndsight Journey is the only truly wire-free device on the market! The camera transmits to the monitor using a secure 2 .4GHz wireless signal, and it does not need to be permanently plugged in to function. The rechargeable battery lasts at least 4 -5 hours with a single charge. (Of course, Hyndsight users are busy and don't always have time to recharge the unit, so Hyndsight offers a hardwiring option as well.) Since it's battery powered, it is incredibly portable and versatile.

Here are some great and unique features of the Hyndsight Vision Inc. Hyndsight requires minimal installation. Both the camera and monitor are compatible with a standard 1/4"-20 thread pattern and will work with any of the mounting accessories Hyndsight offers. The Journey kit comes with two incredibly strong Flush Suction Cup Mounts. The suction cup mounts can be put up or taken down in 5 seconds. Several other mounts are ideal for use in the barn or trailer. The Vise Mount clamps onto stall doors or can be used in trailers. Another great mounting accessory is the Permanent Mount, which can be bolted onto the barn or trailer wall. You'll never have to worry about the mount falling. All you do is twist the camera onto the threaded insert then adjust the articulating arm to get the perfect viewing angle.

Questions readers commonly ask:
Do I really need a trailer camera?

Per Hyndsight Vision Inc.: even calm horses can encounter problems during trailering — falling under the divider, getting a hoof caught in the hay net, a gate that didn't close completely. A simple monitoring system alerts you to pull over and address problems before they become serious injuries. Without a camera, you find out at the destination — sometimes too late.

What problems does a trailer camera actually catch?

Per Hyndsight Vision Inc.: horse down under the divider, hoof caught in hay net or trailer hardware, partial loading collapse, divider failure, swelling/visible distress, fall during emergency stop, gate or door working loose. All of these are recoverable IF caught early. Without a camera, the problem progresses for the entire drive — often resulting in significant injury or death.

What's the difference between basic and premium trailer cameras?

Per Hyndsight Vision Inc.: resolution, low-light performance, range, and reliability. Basic cameras work in good conditions but lose useful image quality in low light, rain, or extended distance. Premium systems (Hyndsight) maintain clarity in night, rain, and over typical hauling distances. The cost difference is significant; the difference in 'actually catches problems' vs. 'gives you a fuzzy useless image' is also significant.

How does the camera connect to the truck cab?

Per Hyndsight Vision Inc.: wireless transmission to a dash-mounted monitor. No wiring through the trailer-truck connection (which fails frequently). Hyndsight's wireless system maintains a stable signal across typical truck-trailer combinations. Power for the camera comes from trailer 12V circuit (already wired for lights) or dedicated battery for trailers without 12V infrastructure.

Will a camera work on any trailer type?

Per Hyndsight Vision Inc.: yes — gooseneck, bumper-pull, slant-load, straight-load, two-horse, multi-horse. Mounting options vary by trailer interior design. The camera mounts above or behind the horses with appropriate angle to monitor the relevant area. Some setups use multiple cameras for full coverage of larger trailers. The system adapts to most configurations.
