CalvingWatch helps cattle farmers monitor a calving pen using a supported shed camera. Use CalvingWatch to: β’ check that fresh camera pictures are reaching the service; β’ view the latest available picture from the calving pen; β’ receive an alert when repeated signs suggest a cow may need attention; β’ acknowledge an alert when you are checking the animal; β’ invite an authorised backup watcher; and β’ control optional analytics, footage-training consent, and account deletion. CalvingWatch works with supported IP cameras and requires reliable camera power, farm internet, and phone notifications. Camera compatibility is checked during setup. CalvingWatch is a decision-support tool. It can miss an event, alert late, or send a false alert. It does not replace normal livestock checks, experienced judgement, or veterinary advice.
